could i get something more specific…

 

personally
honey
i
think god
should have
one of those
call waiting services
the kind that
tells you
when
your call
might be answered
you
know
your
position
in the queue
that
lets you
estimate
when
your call
or
prayer
will be answered
only problem
is
that
thing
about
one day
is
to the lord
as
a
thousand years
one
can only
guess
what the timeframe
would be
when
they say
your call will be answered
in
the order received
you are currently
13th
in line
wait time
is currently
ten minutes

white house money changers…

prayers have dried up
parched lips no longer whisper
words of praise to god
heretics now pour the wine
and eat humanity’s flesh

delay due to increased volume…

you’re
new here
aren’t you
so you’re
probably wondering
about
all these pieces
of
folded paper
strewn
all over
the chapel floor
thinking
this is
not
what i expected
when
i got assigned
to
such a prestigious unit
well
truth is
we’re
way behind
on our schedule
of
events
see
folks used to
help one another
oh
they had their disagreements
but
on the whole
more folks
worked together
resolving
various issues
than
now days
which really
helped
to decrease our workload
and
the number
of
requests made
but
since humankind
has changed
and
moved away
from godliness
we
angels
are having
a harder time
with
addressing
all
the prayers

for thine inheritance..

for thine inheritance

when time
has faded
from eyes
and
voices
whisper prayers
no more
hatred
and
fear
will fade
into
dried tears
tears
that mingle
with ashes
from
funeral pyres
pyres
lit
by the hand
of
god
for
in the end
only
one hand
will
remain
