Imago Dei (Pantoum)

Have you thought what’s the human being?

A creature made in the image of God,

Or a mass of chemicals breeding,

Something else, something odd?

 

A creature made in the image of God?

A parade of miserable and ridiculous ooze?

Something else, something odd?

Sacks of rapidly disintegrating goos?

 

Not a parade of miserable and ridiculous ooze,

But God made manifest in our race;

Not sacks of rapidly disintegrating goos,

But God\'s own self-actualization in place.

 

God made manifest in our race,

Or a mass of chemicals breeding?

No, God\'s own self-actualization in place

Is what\'s the human being.
