BEATNIK: A Poetry Collection

the g in God

according to

Bukowski, people

told him his

tendency to

capitalize the

G in God in his

poems was proof

enough of the

supreme being's

existence.

Bukowski also

refused to

challenge this

point as he

believed it was

best to stay out

of those kinds

of disputes.

I, however, do

not share such

niceties and

am prone to fits

of anger when

confronted with

what I refer to

as Lacking Debates.

for I believe that

letting ignorant

people win arguments

only aids to grow

their power, as only

the truly stupid

believe they are

never wrong.

so to all those

who wonder why

we capitalize G

in God, I will

finally provide

an answer.

conditioning.

like the enigma

of a run-on sentence,

it isn't necessarily

wrong but is often

preferred to be seen

a certain way by the

majority.

this majority

being Quakers.

either that

or some

supernatural

force keeps

fucking with

my spellcheck.
