[Poem] GOD IS NOT HERE

is

GOD IS NOT HERE

There is another who incites the wall

Hiding in an old microphone

His words scattered in the air

Splitting the city in two

And suddenly I lost you

Every time I call, you infiltrate the rock

Closing all doors from the sound of the wind

Waves

Chirping birds in open fields

Even the sun is now halved

One you take home

The rest is the darkness that you put on my face

Likewise highways, residential areas, art buildings, houses of worship.

Everyone stepped on someone else’s body to fly the flag

Faith resides above the head that ignites fire

People shout to God

But God isn’t here

In a split

I vaguely saw His face there

At the end of the road

Waving hands
