What if God was one of us?

What if God was one of us?
Would He be a bearded hipster in Shoreditch
A bearded poor man sitting double bent in Bangalore
Or a bearded fundamentalist in Aleppo?

What if God was one of us?
Would He be wearing a turban and carry a sword on Monday
Meditate in the Sri Lankan temple on Tuesday
Bathe in the Ganges river on Wednesday
Go door-to-door preaching about Jahovah on Thursday 
Pray Jummah in the mosque on Friday
Observe Sabbath on Saturday
Attend mass in church on Sunday?
Or would He question His own existence?

What if God was one of us?
Would He be a wounded Israeli soldier
Or a Palestinian father burying His dead son?
Would He be hiding in the Iraqi mountains with the Yazidis
Or would He be killing for an Islamic State?
Would He be a Lebanese politician promising change
Or would He be a Syrian beggar trying to scrap for change?

What if God was one of us?
Would He be an Apple man or a Samsung man?
Would He have a Facebook page, and post pictures on Instagram?
Would He Tweet about His day?
Would He take a selfie and hashtag it #diety?

What if God was one of us….
Would He help us

Would He be a part of this chaos?!
