Freddy Krueger And God



Freddy Krueger And God

If,
as some philosophers say,
what can be thought of
must necessarily exist . . .

Parmenides says
that which is there to be spoken
and thought of
must be.
For it is possible
for it to be,
but not possible
for nothing to be.

Anselm says
you exist so undoubtedly,
my Lord God,
that you cannot even be thought of
as not existing.

Descartes says
By 'God', I understand,
a substance which is
infinite,

independent,
supremely intelligent,
supremely powerful,
and which created both
myself and everything else
(if else there be)
that exists.
All these attributes are such
that, the more carefully
I concentrate on them,
the less possible it seems
that they could have
originated from me alone.
So, from what has been said
it must be concluded that God
necessarily exists.

. . . then
Freddy Krueger
necessarily
exists
in as real a way
as this
supreme being.

Juliet Capulet
asked

Romeo Montague,
What's in a name?
That which we call a
rose

by any other
name
would smell as sweet.

Freddy
on the other hand
is at the other
end of the scale
from sweet roses
but
the same applies
for
whatever Freddy is
or is named
according to those
philosophers
he is real.

Accordingly
if we can think of
a supreme creator
an unmoved mover
a primal source of all things
it must then exist.

But is it God?
Or is God a
usurper
of the creator
Goddess?
Because all the creator gods
must
masturbate
to create
and we know it can't be done
that way.

I was made
in his image
so they say
and masturbation
never worked for me
like that
however
we do know
how
it works
and no man
has ever
conceived
a child
or done much
at all
really
in that regard
except be a
sperm donor.

What is the difference
between Freddie and God?
Faith?
Remember
when you first saw
Freddie?
Were you afraid
to go to sleep
that night?
Your fear of Freddie
proves your faithlessness
in God the Creator
and proves your
fear born faith
in
God the Usurper
god of volcanoes
like Sinai
the maker of monsters
demons
and
hell
the destroyer god
the angry god
the jealous god
no matter which
name
you call him
he is still
by his own
definition
the eternal executioner.

The loving god
the nurturing god
the creator god
you believe
exists
does exist
if those philosophers
are correct
but by other
names
and She still
smells as sweet
no matter which
of Her names
you use.
