God

What is God?

Is God the taskmaster?
that beats us for sin
setting us up to fail
daring us to win

Or is God a spectator?
watching a game
laughing at our folly
snickering at our shame

Or is God a scientist?
That designed a maze
us the lab rats
running through a haze

Or is God a child?
a tantrum throwing baby
angry at his toys
while they know he's crazy

Or is God our friend?
That tries to understand
but he speaks a different language
one we can't comprehend

Or is God a riddle?
That we try to solve
the ultimate answer
round which life revolves
