I'm playing hide and seek with God
He hasn't found me yet
He counted to infinity
And didn't break a sweat

If you were me, where would you hide
What tiny sinful nook...
Where's the place, upon this earth,
Where God won't think to look?

First I hid behind a stone
Too big for God to move
He hoisted it above my head
With not a thing to prove

I realized that God could see
Where I would choose to go
The future is an easy thing
For omnipotence to know

So then I thought about my will
It seems that fate is bound
How am I supposed to hide
When I'm already found?

Then I thought about the souls
Of everything on earth
I thought of every bloody death
And every bloody birth

And then I stopped to ask myself
Of all the things to see...
Why would my God spend his time
Seeking hidden me?

For if He can see everything
Why must we play this game?
And why if I refuse to play
Must there be threats of flame?

So here I am, out in the woods
And both of us are bored
So I propose another game
To my immortal Lord

I'm not quite sure what God could want
I speak against His pride
I say we'll start another game
And it's His turn to hide

I thought I had an easy task
It seems that I was wrong
Because God hid so very well
The seeking will be long

I start to think he's really gone
To where I cannot find
I think that he's deserted me
And all of humankind

I'm sorry if you worship him
And read that holy book
I'm sad I made him go away
... but you can help me look

Very catchy rhyme... as for the words themselves... I'm still churning them around inside my head. Nice piece...

Philosophy indeed...

Wow Kevin...I'm really impressed! I love it! The ending is really sad and sweet to me. This is definitely one of my favourites of yours.

Way to go honeyshine!

Interesting...at first, I was somewhat frightened that you were a closeted fanatical Christian, and I was going to have to run away, and then I kept reading. Very well done.
