Are you there God?

It’s me, Francis.

Yes, dear,

I am here,

like the last time you called,

and the time before that,

and the time before that,

well, you get the picture.

Yes, I saw what happened

I care 

and I will help you

like I always do

and stop frowning,

you started to

get wrinkles.

Yes, I still love you

and will

forever and ever

even if,

and all of your problems 

will get resolved 

one way or another,

nothing is ever

that important.

By the way,

I know every detail

of everything,

so you don’t need to 

recite them back to me,

I’m afraid

your narrative is 

too slow for me to follow.

There is just one small thing 

that’s been bothering me:

who did you say you were again?

Oh my goooooodness. I was reading along, quite enjoying the bit of satire going on with God’s ‘yes yes I’m here’ attitude, then bam!

That ending. ‘Who did you say you were again?’ Complete 180 for me. It went from a bit of humour (and don’t get me wrong, it still is mostly satirical even to the end) to being told you’re loved and your problems are important, only to be shown that you’re not even worth remembering.

How very sobering. A beautiful, terrible thought. And a wonderful read! Thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Very humorous turn in the last verse. Sounds as though Big G has an answering machine.
