Poem of the Day: Talking to God

By: rrw

I talked with God today...
or do I mean...
I prattled on, and quietly
He listened to my every word.
I didn't squawk about the war...
I figured others handed Him
a BIG ear full on that particular debate
already! Well, at any rate, it's sad to say,
I am extremely bored with death
and dying. But in my own way
I keep on trying to make sense of it.
Yes, I know war is hell.
Been there, don that and got
the bloody T-shirt to prove it.
So, no war talk for me...
I could have rambled on
about economics...
But I would rather have a lobotomy
than speak of the economy!
Quite vulgar to mention such things
in front of God... or any deity,
So I just went off on
how sad my life appears to be...
Sweet thing about God...
He listens with no interruptions... nice!
He's nothing like my other friends
who never pretend that
they give a good gosh darn
about how I'm doing these days...
Advice? Oh, on that subject they've
got lots and lots to say...
"Please, don't do this,
please don't do that.
Bring in the dog,
put out the cat!
Meow, meow, meow, meow,
meow meow, meow, meow!"
It's such a pity... Yes, it is.
But I think it's so true:
God doesn't own a kitty or...?
or any pets or plants... except
the Earth of course... of course!
I'm sure that after the debacle with
the apple tree and serpent thing
He'd rather not get too involved.
I understand exactly how He feels.

rrw is a good friend that post his poetry on Echoes of My Soul.

A great writer. I like this poem. You can talk to God and

your whole world makes a lot more sense. Seems like since

I have been reading my bible I have had the worst problems

and it is like problems to the point of where you don't want to

pick your bible up. I need to keep on track if I can. I found me

a nice pair of shoes at the thrift store and I was pink as a cloud.

Shoes only cost $2.50 a pair of skechers. Those shoes at

the shoe store cost like $60.00. They look like they have

hardly been worn. Thank you God for blessing me.

My mom has been sick. She has a bad case of the flu.

She caught it from my brother. I hope she starts feeling

better. I called her through the day today.

It has been such a pretty day. The weather has been nice.

How about a diet coke? That's my drink for sure.

I can't make myself drink anything but that.

Well off to my space we go or maybe ebay.
