God minus

1.

```

A God-minus thought

Misleads

The searching mind.

```

2.

```

A God-minus thought

Tortures

The aspiring heart.

```

3.

```

A God-minus thought

Is

Happiness-starvation.

```

4.

```

A God-minus thought of mine

Is a devastating blow

To my God-adoration-heart.

```

5.

```

Each God-minus thought of mine

Eventually bursts

Into an utter failure-sigh.

```

6.

```

Each God-minus thought

Compels the seeker

To enter into an abysmal abyss.

```

7.

```

A God-minus life

Is

A spiritual failure.

```

8.

```

A God-minus life

Must needs remain

A satisfaction-stranger.

```

9.

```

A God-minus heart

Can never enjoy

God's Fondness-Oneness-Embrace.

```

10.

```

A God-minus mind

Cannot escape

From the trauma of hopelessness.

```

11.

```

A God-minus life

Is

Ignorance-confusion-immersion.

```

12.

```

A God-minus man

Is

His own bondage-slave.

```

13.

```

A God-minus day

Marks the seekers

Aspiration-shortage

And

Frustration-plethora.

```

14.

```

A God-minus thought

Entangles the mind,

Enslaves the heart,

Endangers the life. ```

15.

```

A God-minus day

Cannot free itself

From the knotted tentacles

Of suspicion. ```

16.

```

A God-minus moment

Is when

Truth and I part ways.

```

17.

```

A God-minus moment

Feeds doubt

And fondles suspicion.

```

18.

```

A God-minus man

Loves

His ego-greed.

```

19.

```

A God-minus man

Is totally empty

Of prayer-joy

And

Meditation-peace.

```

20.

```

A God-minus man

Is obsessed

Only with others' mistakes,

Small or big. ```

21.

```

A God-minus man

Plies his lifeboat

Between the mind's impatience-shore

And the heart's uncertainty-shore. ```

22.

```

A God-minus man

Desires

World-supremacy-power

And not

World-ecstasy-hour.

```

23.

```

A God-minus man

Can easily become

A negativity-monarch.

```

24.

```

A God-minus man

Thinks

That he can never be wrong.

```

25.

```

A God-minus morning

Marks

A soul-starvation-day.

```

26.

```

A God-minus human being

Is found to be

Deplorably powerless

Over his own thoughts. ```

27.

```

A God-minus breath

Is, indeed,

A spiritual death.
