the morning after

"is god afraid?"

do you ever ask yourself
why god hasn't returned?
it's been over 2000 years,
why would he not want
to visit his children?

is the time not right?
did his eyes dim
at last bite?
is the sun too far,
does he hate the moonlight?

or perhaps
he cannot do it
perhaps he is afraid
of what he has created

how did a
fruit
lead to social systems
built to only empower superiors
whom ironically
rather eat dead friends
then
fruit

i would be afraid too.
