Wrote this the other day…in the light of the demise of Christopher Hitchens, famous atheist, and Kim Jong, famous deranged dictator, oppressor and tyrant of North Korea, it is a ponderous and tongue-in-cheek look at what awaits us all on the other side.

What if God was a Cat?
If God turned out to be a cat
What would you make of that?
Would you ask forgiveness for all the times that
you hadn’t been kind to cats?
If God turned out to be a turkey
Would you be feeling quite so chirpy
Eating God’s only son on his birthday?
If God turned out to be a fox
It wouldn’t look too good for toffs
On judgement day
If God is karma, this would bring
Kindness, love and understanding
An end to suffering
So maybe God is everything
Sentient…remembering

One day,
Down by the River,
God forgot everything.
“Do you believe in the transmigration of Souls?”
He asked the water.
