Think on this
Buddha, Muhammad, Olodumare, Jesus
Hell Maybe some incarnation of
Krishna
All might be walking around the hood
the shanty towns
the slums
the back corners and trash piles
the ghettos
We wouldn’t know it but
We would
We know them
Those people
Those beings
Jesus might be an Asian woman
Muhammad might be a white man
Buddha might be an African child
Olodumare might be on facebook, twitter, and tumblr
Hell Krishna might be walking about with Ariginals at the mall
Maybe the god we are looking for
is already staring at us
Maybe the god we pray to
has already spoken
Maybe the divine force we seek to communion with
has already broken bread
Maybe
the problem is that we look for
(whatever it is that one seeks and has labeled godly)
from outside
when it has already been placed within
We are looking for God
When God has been inside
Waiting.
