Neither God Nor Me

Who is God —
Without me
Constrained, flummoxed
Bamboozled
Questioning

What is God
Without me
Thinking, cogitating
Conceptualising

Which God
Could help this me

Does me not come first —
Then God

O’ God
Why did this happen
Why did you do this
To me

Save me
Take care of me

Me
Wants to be saved
Wants to be helped
Wants rid of itself

What is this me
But a collection —
Of knowledge and thoughts
Memories, perceptions
Images, appearances
Sensations — one after another

How can perceptions
Be saved

A dream I perceived —
How can it be saved
When it is over
Now

Where would the world
Be put —
To be saved
Secured

This phone
This body
This cat and ant —
How can objects
Be saved

No being
In the object

Being is perceiving
And thinking

Without that —
What is being

Functioning
Is taken for being

And being —
For self

My self —

A phantom —
A cloud
A shape in the sky
Called self
That evaporates
Upon looking

Leaving —
Neither God
Nor me
