Genesis

by Ranjini Thaver

I know god of the bible is imperfect

apparently he said

'let us make man'

he is fragmented -
spoke to himself
as if he were
different beings
spoke of man
as if women came after

he said
'in our own image'
we are imperfect
and so is he

or perhaps this is how the story goes

those who wrote the bible
asked themselves if they were god
what they would have done

and created the bible
in their own image
narcissistically.
