Poem : EYE OF GOD | The Divine Gaze on Human Imperfection

EYE OF GOD

The eye of the god that created all the beautiful things
the same eye that’s capable of destroying it all too.
The ear of god that has to hear all the bullshit of the motherfukers
who are gifted with vocal chords,
real nice use of the exclusive gift chumps!!
Their complaints and stupid mother fucking dreams
that change every other moment
without a least consideration or respect as to what they were
wishing just a second ago
only consistent thing among the ever-inconsistent wishes
is the desire to fuck, eat and lay and then repeat the same thing
again, and again and again.
Then waking up each day to find that everything is still the same
expecting whatever they wanted to expect,
disappointed when they meet the results that are mirror image
of their efforts.
Losing control of the reality,
being in a constant state of hysteria for every memory of the
lost chances,
that are never coming back, except when they intend to haunt
You,
just like your grumpy uncle’s face that never looked at you
except when it wanted to taunt you
you lost the support
of the people you counted on,
whom you thought would stay forever around you
that every time you’ll give a cry of despair,
they’ll come running for you to wipe tears off your face
and then kiss your bearded cheeks promising that they’ll never
leave you alone again.
Being in a constant state of demise
just minimizes the risk of a mistaken smile
for the few mistakes you committed get ready to die.

Writing “Eye of God” was a deeply introspective journey for me. The poem delves into the paradoxical nature of existence, where the divine power that creates beauty also holds the potential to destroy it. This duality is something I believe we all experience in our daily lives, where the same forces that bring joy can also bring pain.

The idea of the “eye of God” symbolizes the all-seeing nature of the divine, witnessing everything – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. It’s fascinating to think about how this divine observer must feel, hearing every complaint and whimsical desire that humans express. We are gifted with the power of speech, yet so often, we use it to express fleeting and often contradictory wishes. This inconsistency is a central theme of the poem – our perpetual cycle of wanting, achieving, and then discarding desires as if they were nothing.

In this poem, I wanted to highlight the mundane repetitiveness of human life. We wake up each day with new expectations, often forgetting or ignoring the desires we held just moments before. This endless loop of seeking pleasure, experiencing disappointment, and then seeking again can be exhausting. It’s like we’re all stuck in a constant state of hysteria, haunted by memories of lost opportunities and regrets.

One of the more poignant aspects of “Eye of God” is the realization of lost support. We all have moments when we feel abandoned by those we thought would always be there for us. The people we relied on, who we believed would come running to wipe our tears, often fade away, leaving us to face our struggles alone. This abandonment can lead to a state of constant emotional demise, where even a mistaken smile feels like a risk too great to take.

The poem touches on the harsh reality of facing our mistakes and the heavy toll they can take on our psyche. It’s a reminder that the divine eye sees all, and perhaps, in its infinite wisdom, understands the complexity of our existence better than we ever could.

“Eye of God” is not just about the divine perspective but also about our own introspection. It’s an exploration of how we deal with the repetitive cycles of life, the ever-changing desires, and the emotional burdens we carry. Through this poem, I hope to connect with readers who have felt the weight of these experiences, offering a reflection on the shared human condition.

As you read “Eye of God,” I invite you to ponder on these themes and consider how they resonate with your own life. Perhaps you’ll find a bit of solace in knowing that these struggles are a universal part of the human experience, observed by a divine eye that sees and understands it all.
