Wouldn't You Like to Meet God?
by Martin Kohn |
Wouldn't you like to meet God?
I don't mean some kind of
pearlygated embrace
more like at a Starbucks,
or better yet
some place with local flavor
You take out your wallet
and show off the kids, the wife
and after the chitchat
and your embarrassment
that God pointed out that
your license expired
you get to the real reason
for your tete a tete
with this Godhead
You have questions and
unlimited refills...
How come good things always happen
to bad people? And what does he/she
think about being genderless, or both?
And had God bumped into all those souls
murdered in the Shoah?
Take your time you say
as God sips his second lowfat latte
And then when you're done listening
do you say "goodbye" to God
knowing that it's redundant?
Which makes you think about
old fashioned words like
"thou" and "art" and does
God like the formality.
But by now God is dozing
or pretending to be asleep
or saying "yes" and "no"
or both to whatever you ask
And there's more of creation
to take care of
so you simply say, "later",
and watch the chariot ascend
