      GOD

      nor this nor that
      nor that nor this
      nor up nor down
      nor to nor fro
      no where no thing anywhere
      nothing particular we know
      but is in all and everywhere
      if so as said is so
      is always and ever here and there
      no matter wherever we go

      the maker of all possibilities
      all is or was or could be's
      the maker of all creation
      beyond all explanation

      as real as a human being
      whose countenance none ever seen
      whose voice none ever heard
      who made the world with a word

      how a being could be so clever
      be everywhere always and ever
      I'm dumb forever to fathom
      but we're all in infinite trouble
      and have no place to run
      if belief is only a bubble
      and a God there really is none
      none for any religion
      none for anyone
