I Met God

I met god earlier
He told me he was a big deal, but he didn't mean to boast
"I'm the father, that's the son, and somewhere around here is the holy ghost."
I had so many things to ask him but I think I just fell back asleep

I would have asked him why
Across so many windshields lie
Frightened forms of the crucified
I would have begged a question
I would have raised an inquiry
I would have pressed upon him a wonder

Eventually I wouldn't have another synonym
What exactly does it takes to get to heaven?
Atoning, loaning, all that good stuff he would say
But above all else, the most important thing anyway
Hate the devil alot, curse him every chance you get
That's how you get to heaven, that's your free ticket

Love it, especially "I would have asked him why
Across so many windshields lie
Frightened forms of the crucified"

if that is "a little bit up in the air" well thats a good place to stay

I really enjoy the end where God tells you exactly how to get to Heaven because even if you meant to play with religion or not, you played with the stereotype of how "religious" folk are supposed to carry themselves. (e.g. not hating anything/one, not even the devil or speaking/cursing bad about/to a person or thing) The poem overall was understanding, an easy read and captivates the audience. Also, I enjoy how you give an answer to a question people on earth have been trying to find an answer to since the beginning of time, "how do we make it to heaven?" Great piece.

I love your style- very clearly unique and full of meaning. Another amazing poem. I really love flow as well, it really ties the whole piece together for me.

Thank you for sharing
