What is particularly interesting is the inequality of the God and the
man...it becomes an abuse for the God to touch the man, th man can't
retreat, is struck with "thunderous" blows and must contend with merely
biting at the feet of the God

I think G-d is suppose to represent someone, but not
G-d Him/Herself. To me it seems soemone is being treated very badly by
someone they feel is G-d or so much higher than them they might as well be
G-d. for example, a boss or an abusive parent. The people who witness this
re probably too scared to question this authority figure and that's why
they say what they say. That's how i interpret it.

It could be published post-humourously, just an idea. Also, Reebeka, thanks
for embodying the sanctimonious narrow-minded bigotry that one
interpretation of this poem scorns!

There are several ways to look at this...
First it seems as if God has finally captured the Devil and is beating
him.
Next it maybe that he is describing the media and something that may have
affected himself. Since most of his poems were things that happened to him.
Third it shows that the people are only saying that god is doing something
right because he is god. They have no idea what the underlying
circumstances are and are assuming that he has done something wrong.
Anyone have some suggestions?

I really liked this poem...it shows how people love a good spectacle. a
God against a man is obviously an unfair match...no one bothers to ask what
the man did, they just assume he deserves it and that the god is right.
he's a big bully...which is just how our society, namely the media,
works......he may not have intended it that way...but its my interpretation
