Ok enough with the political angsts….and anti-human rants already!
Okay…I get it am not a revolutionary writer……well not even a proper writer TBH……..how about that for penance?
I was shopping one day with my aunt ……and this song played on the radio…….I wanted this song so bad….
All I knew was the tune…..and could remember just that one line…..that one controversial line……..
What if God was one of us??
And I was hooked….
One of us~ Joan Osborne
“What if God was one of us,
Just a slob like one of us”
What simplicity…….
She blew me away with this song…..
It got me thinking…….. What if he was?
What if he was the stranger we see everyday on the way to work….
“Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home”
I have so many mixed feelings about this song….and to this day I do not know what is she trying to convey?
“He’s trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone”
Why did he strike her as a lonely figure? have we alienated him soo much?
“Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in Rome”
I find it ironical…….
I have to give it to her…..she did have a sense of Humour…….
That is what I love about him too, I guess …..no matter how abstract he is…….he has a sense of humour……..and maybe sometimes we are way to dumb to get his jokes…….
What about that one question you would ask him….if you saw him?
Honestly I don’t know……
What would you ask……
“Hi…. Nice to meet you….Hows the weather up there?”
or
“Oh well hello there…..thought I’d never see you…..(Ever!)..now can we go over last year’s finances please? I think I really deserved that Ferrari…..”
Hmmmmm how about…
“Yo, Wassup Doc…..tell us all about your crib “Heaven”… Is it poppin?”
“Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome”
I don’t know….I guess…I’d go…
