Can I Have a Moment of your Time ?

Can I Have a Moment of your Time ?

A Chapter by Richard B. Berry

Dear God

Can I have a moment of your time ?

its me, that one guy

who somehow can't get right

The guy who only calls on you

During times of great need

when I neglect my responsibilies

when desires exceed my needs

when I'm overcome with greed

when I've done dastardly deeds

So here I am again

Right before you, twisting in pain

the world has passed me by

and I'm scared and alone

Last breaths ticking away

These fascist nurses don't care

I'm a slab of meat taking up a bed

In the dustbin of society

In my life, I never cared

It was always about me

Never about you

You weren't on my mind

when I cheated on my wife

when I backstabed my friends

when I was drunk

when I stole things

Even into my advanced age

I've been spiteful, hateful

sexist, racist

A piece of s**t

All alone now

Morphine in my IV drip

doesn't even begin to ease my pain

I'm so hateful

can't even stand myself

Now, at my most pathetic

I call on you

I don't deserve your forgiveness, your grace

But this pain, this torment

Is more hell than I can bear

I beg your forgiveness

In this swansong of a wasted life

The last breath...is coming now

Please father, I'm so sorry

I leave my fate to you

Jesus I acc----

 

 

Welcome home son
