What is an  avatar

An earthy manifestation of the Divine?

Avatars differ from angels 

in a multitude of ways subtle and obvious.

think of angels as holy administrative assistants. 

was Buddha an avatar for nihilism?

if I say, I believe in nothing 

I am accused of being a nihilist.

if I say, I am thinking about a nothing 

I am accused of being a Buddhist.

if I say, I do not believe in thinking

you accuse me of being monotheistic. 

tomorrow I will refuse to discriminate 

and tell you I believe in everything.

what would you call me then…

heathen, pagan, pantheist, omni-theists?

Am I just another fool 

legion for we are one of many 

dealt from the bottom of the deck

face down in a house of tarot cards?

think of angels as heavenly croupiers

heaven is a town much like Las Vegas

where the odds are always long 

the house always wins

and the architecture is a gaudy abomination

of gold paved boulevards.

the cathedrals are casinos resonating with the collective

whimpered prayers of hypocrite congregation

incensed atmosphere reeking of insincerity and desperation

no yours was not a jailhouse conversion 

you were young and full of good intentions

prostrating yourself before one armed bandits 

perpetually praying for the second coming 

to arrive as the holy trinity of three dollar signs.

this is a place with out windows or clocks 

as sterile as a hospital or a shopping mall

a place where they want you to forget 

about the world outside. 

this is a place where prayers are consumed

this is a faith-based economy.

on earth, we place side bets with our souls in eternity.

here in New Rome most claim to worship the god of love

However, they are confused 

by the dogma dripping obfuscation’s

of so called holy men 

by their actions and lives 

it is apparent that they worship 

the god of power money and war

mammon 

god of the leisure class 

god of the middle class 

god of gods

jesus is not gods’ avatar 

jesus is a just high level cleric.

look into mirrors for gods’ avatar

we who were created as a reflection of divinity

whose every aspect is a manifestation of the beloved

of whom so much is written 

and so little is understood.
