Yes Yes - A poem by Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski - Yes Yes

when God created love he didn't help most
when God created dogs He didn't help dogs
when God created plants that was average
when God created hate we had a standard utility
when God created me He created me
when God created the monkey He was asleep
when He created the giraffe He was drunk
when He created narcotics He was high
and when He created suicide He was low

when He created you lying in bed
He knew what He was doing
He was drunk and He was high
and He created the mountians and the sea and fire at the same time

He made some mistakes
but when He created you lying in bed
He came all over His Blessed Universe.

I liked the poem. But i just have somethig to say about the the other persons comment. Why don't you get a life? Maybe a hundred years ago god would have "punished" him. But god isn't an angry god....read the new testament... Emily from United States Comment 1 of 3, added on November 7th, 2005 at 11:31 PM.
