Be Your Own God

by John Barber

Be your own god

In the present here and now

Fill the spaces and voids with your own truth

Disavow the lies and look past the facade

Have an affinity to your own infinity

A propensity to live for an eternity

An intensity for the life in front of you

And an immensity of love for all that you know and do

The beauty around you is enough

Whatever catches your eye; see it some more

The time you enjoyed; spend more of it

Enjoy the arcade—ride the wild ride—but ignore the carnival barkers

Find the kind of kindness

That illuminates the world around you

Heal yourself and calm your mind—be a healer

Play your cards and be your own dealer

Lay down a full house

Erect your own temples

Worship those you love

Be omnipotent
