Is God on Vacation?
Or just out to Lunch?
I got a question:
does God only 'grant' general stuff,
like faith, courage, serenity, peace
but can't or won't do specific stuff
like building me a home
where the Buffalo roam,
or putting a million dollars in my account,
or a parking space near Walmart?
Ok, well maybe he’s on extended leave,
gallivanting in another dimension
with Miss Universe?
He packed his bags, slipped down a ladder,
snuck out of heaven
through an old black hole that hadn’t been sealed
and the last thing anyone saw
was a huge Cheshire cat grin fading out...
Or he’s holed up at the donut shop
dunkin’ and forgot about time?
But just maybe, just maybe,
we really are doing it alone
but too afraid of the responsibility;
of the scary thought we’re in charge,
– no one else--
and we can really make this old world
a better place to live in;
a much happier place
without <snip!>
you know who.
