Half atheist handwritten
Dear God,
(if that's your real name)
Why have you forsaken me?
why don't you just let me be?
Who's messing with my LIFE?
In case you don't "remember"
my name is Ross
John Ross
J.R.
Jay
John
Shorty
Chip
I have other aliases
but I know you know me
I feel like the dirt
under a policeman's shoe
a minute to midnight
I'm an inch far from worm food
the frozen ice testicles pressed
into my face are obscuring
my vision and
burn
when I try to remove them
as does the still writhing squid
with its beak in my back
Yeah, I'm the one who slipped
through the crack in your
imperfect eyeball of
bluegreen counterproduction
you call a planet
reduced to a common criminal I
ask nothing
getting less in return
ask everything
and pay with LIFE
itself
I knew myself
i was a fine person
with only a few
Karmic zits
Who are YOU?
oh God
Yahweh
Jesus
Buddah
Zeus
Christ
He who Claims All
the ONE attributed with"perfect" yet
having as many aliases as a
common criminal
like me
If you do know me,
throw me a rope
or maybe just send a card
sometime.
By Ross Moran
