Zywa Listening to rigid men

They are rigid men who believe
that the past is important
They get little gifts
to sacrifice at the feasts
and to tell stories

which they dress up
for the people who pay
That's how it goes

What is common, must be special
what is powerful, almighty
what is good or bad luck, providence
They don't like unpredictable hazards
so they bundle the forces

of fate to one great Force
so incomprehensibly great
that there is no name for it

A name is just a name
too small, and too tempting
to call it
and to believe in a callable Force
instead of listening

In an inverted world
people boldly give names
to the Nameless

Poem 1789
Amsterdam, 2018-06-18

God is nameless and the names of Joshua and Jesus are not known anymore; they are referred to with their title: Salvation
