Nobody
always asks ‘how’,
always asks ‘why’.
Who made the sky?
“Nobody,” is a current
or modern-day reply.
“It just is. It just appeared.”
A response he doesn’t understand.
But won’t or can’t
begin to deny.
“Who made the stars,
the birds, and the bees?”
“Nobody,” again.
The answer with ease.
In other words,
no one to obey.
Just do what you what.
Just not another one slay.
One day this child heard
his mother to his father
on the phone say:
“Oh my goodness!…
Thank you, dear!
A new SUV?
We really need!
Who
made it?
Mercedes?” When she saw
her child spinning in glee
shouting aloud:
“Nobody!
Nobody!”
For even a child
can in innocence see
that everything has a maker
even if given
a personal name
claimed:
“No
body.”
A belief persisted
from a disobedient
spirit creature
shamed
determined
to conceal
his father’s
existence
and His glorious
name
as many a rebellious child
in answer arrogantly
proclaims:
“I’m from nowhere
and nobody.”
To his family’s honor
dishonor
or in anger
defame.
