POOR OLD DAD

Jung had profound
Sympathy for his father:
A pastor at the
Swiss Reform Church
In the village of his birth.

All at once
After his confirmation
At age fifteen
He realized the vacuousness
Of his father’s profession.

His poor old Dad
Promoting a religion
Based on Faith not
The Existential Experience
Of God and His Grace.

Jung understood God
As the ego of an infinite Universe
And his own molecular identity
As the ego of his
Psychic and Physical Being...

Poor old Dad
Suffering
What all Fathers’ fear:
The Judgement
Of their children.
