Free the God

Listen! Listen! Listen!

We have a demanding task

at our hands.

God has been enslaved

by his devotees

and we have to

set Him free.

Chiseled into the finery

of temples

enclosed within its four walls

He is unable -

unable to express His artistry.

Impaled on the spire

of mosques

making Him suffocate

He is unable -

unable to breathe life into the world.

Engraved into stained glasses

of Cathedrals

limiting Him to inches

He is unable -

unable to break the limits.

His voice

muffled

by the lifeless shrieks

of the preachers and priests.

His message

encaged

in the holy books and the outer looks.

Is it the wind gushing

or His muffled voice?

Is it the earth moving

or His encaged message?

For centuries

we worshipped the dead

prayed to the one castrated.

For a moment

let's worship the living

pray to the one breathing

For centuries

we kept Him tethered

to a location,

a building,

a book.

For a moment

let HIM burst out

burst out through the Heart

into the veins

into the brains

into the eyes

into the smiles

into the hairs

into the minds

into the open

into the skies.
