God almighty looks down on his creations

Pitiful and irrelevant

All stuck in their own delusions of a false sense of grandeur

An aunt pelted with the pearls of her wealth

Always amicable towards those she knows will serve her

Always bitter towards herself and those she deems unworthy

She despises those who lack her common sense

A child sitting in a desolate room.

Willing themselves to disappear

Trying to build a wall from the hail that falls cold and inevitable

Praying to him

“ Please let me not hear or feel”

Oh, to not have heard or felt

God laughs

A woman kisses her lover.

Tenderly brushes a smile across her lips

Stares into her hazelnut irises

Feeling for the first time in years

At peace

A mother looks towards the rear of her car

A newborn daughter sleeps

And the woman reminisces of when she first held her

She remembers the news of her baby girl’s health

6 months.

A man kisses his wife’s belly swollen like a rose hip

They sing sweet nothings

Dedicated to their future together

God smiles at his ignorant creations.

Or perhaps it was a sneer.

Or a grimace.

Perhaps pity.

A small boy’s eyes bug out

And his face flushes red

Veins pop with panic

And a friend performs the Heimlich maneuver

A piece of chicken escapes his throat

And alas he breathes again

A professor at a respected university

Is down on his knees begging for his forgiveness

He says he wants to repent

He says he’s a sinner

God says we are all sinners

Fiends made of neutrality

Shaped by our own experiments

We are no longer truly his creations

We have ascended to our own hell

No longer needing his punishment nor protection

He cannot forgive your sins anymore

For he too has ascended

To simply observe

He too is a fiend of neutrality

He too is a sinner

Poor professor doesn’t know that he is no worse

He cheated on Cathy

And she stole from him

And in God’s Earth all he knows is that every spine is capable of decay

All he knows is detachment from the sinners

From their comforts too

All God knows is repetition

And as the entertainment slowly fades

It becomes comical

And to make it worse they all think they’re the main character

They all think that they’re right

When in reality they’re lives don’t matter

None of it does

Existence is the one truly meaningless thing

Yet they still forge meaning where there is none

… and it is so funny

So illogical to have created this world that they shouldn’t have

So arrogant

So dimwitted …

That in all its depravity it is absolutely stunning.
