Looking for God on Google

Brandon Nobles,
Looking for God on Google, 2008

Today I looked for God on Google,
a million pages,
all directions:
The Hubble Deep Field,
And the Mandelbrot’s.
Einstein’s elegant equations.

A page says, “Zed squared equals Alpha.”
I don’t know what this means.
Another page talks about time.

Can God be found on Google?
That’s a question of mine.
There’s food and jewels,
virtue and vice,
but no voice of God.

There’s entertainment, news,
products, food,
God is lost amongst the ads.

When I looked for God on Google,
I searched five million pages,
but didn’t see a God on one.
Some believed.
Some did not.
Some don’t even care.

Today I lost again,
in the ultimate game of hide and seek.
Maybe I’m not supposed to look.
Maybe nothing’s hiding.
Maybe the last thing people notice,
is something that isn’t hidden.

In what part of the world do you live? South Carolina, USA
