Small God
By jfarrell
- Terry Pratchett was a genius, and his Discworld will be sorely missed -
What makes a god?
Belief.
My cat believes in me to feed him; and her, and the others;
Wow, not where I was expecting this to go;
Four cats believe In me;
I am god.
Their god, anyway.
And, you wouldn’t believe how much cleaning God has to do.
I wish I could afford a cleaner.
I write things you like;
“yeah! Totally agree! Spread this message!”
I write things you don’t;
“stop writing you judgemental little pri*k”;
As a god, I just grew a little bigger, a little larger,
A little more god-size
Well, my ego did anyway;
Please, before you claim me the messiah,
And tie me up on that cross;
Know this…
I will press the button;
Just to see the world burn.
As long as you understand that..
YES, I WILL BE YOUR GOD,
IF YOU ASK
IF ENOUGH BELIEVE
