6040. BEGGARMAN, THIEF

BEGGARMAN, THIEF
He died whenever you want it to be  - everything
was pre-arranged like that. Think it over; it's
really pretty amazing. In the same vein  -  right here,
dark green armchair, lantern-light on a table, feet up,
smoking a pipe, it's me at station thinking just this:
This 'God' thing I keep hearing, I've got it figured,
if it was. This "god' thing didn't have to do anything 
at all. No seven-day creation, no fall of man, no long,
sad story of jettisoned love and hope. All 'God' had to
do, by script, actually, was come up with one 'idea' of 
something that accepts all that as possible, and let them
do the rest. Yes, yes, let them do the rest. Mythology,
History, Religion, it's all up to them. I've done my part.
