Another Poem I Wrote About God- Reviews and criticism welcomed

Rainbow Mage

Lib Democrat/Agnostic/Epicurean-ish/Buddhist-ish
God is within us.
God's love is within us.
God's grace is within us.
God's salvation is within us.
God's emminations, the devas and gods, countless in names and forms, are within us.
God's avatars, those who are God in flesh, they also are within us.
The universe is within us, and we within the universe.
The life of the plant life is within us, and we also the same life within the trees and plants.
The life of the animals is within us, and we also the same life within the numerous animals.
The animals consume plants, but they do not consume the spirit, they only consume the outward plant.
The animals consume each other, but they do not consume the spirit, they consume only corpses. Hard this is for some to bear.
Again, humans consume animals and plants, but we do not consume the spirit, we only consume corpses. Hard this is for some to bear.
Again, humans consume other humans. We consume one another with love, lust, greed, envy, hatred, and murder. Again, we may think we are harming something, but nothing avails in harming the spirit.
The gods and devas indeed consume humans. Humans feed them with devotion and worship. Devotion and worship are spiritual food, and likewise, the gods and devas feed us with spiritual food in return.
God indeed consumes the devas, but the devas do not consume God. God contains all devas, all humans, all animals, all plants, all life within himself, but not one of these contain him.
Therefore, it cannot be said that anything consumes God, not even life itself, for there is no difference between the two. For if God contains all life within himself, then he himself is the life of the world.
