Imago Dei (Pantoum)

rrodriguez

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.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem resulted from my studies of Humanities. I believe in God's dictum, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness ..." (Genesis 1:26). Thus, this poem is meant to convey that image of God's crown creation.
