the smartest thing he ever did

the smartest thing he ever did




if time is relative
and
gods are relative
to whom
your relatives are
then
predicting the future
is most certainly
tied to
the self-centered desires
of the here and now.


so if your personal savior
decided 
after being resurrected for seventy-two hours
that his future
couldn't stand to comprehend
a place like
the united states of america
so he thought to vacate this world.


was he
reluctantly following the commands of his god?
choosing the better of two sequels?
or perhaps
knowing full well the competition to come
decided to bail the world
leaving it
to its own cadre
of 
self-serving desires?


the questions before us now:
was it
one more wrapped up fairy tale ending
revolving around
spiritual glad handing?
the heartfelt desires of a legend in his own mind?
or
someone all powerful
all seeing
all knowing
getting the hell out of here
before
the advent of several other soothsayers
disclaimed his worldview
as
borderline kindness that kills?


quite frankly
i believe
bailing the biosphere
was:
the smartest thing he ever did.
