I was very young when God first appeared to me.
He said: "Son, you know what I want you to do."
"Make you marketable?"
I said-asked.
He nodded, profoundly.
"Your word is my comand."
I tried. I honestly did.
I tried selling God as a hip folk singer,
tried the "love" thing,
tried the redemtion bit,
but the only followers I got
were psychopaths
who believed only in their own
inner voices.
Not mine.
I'm not sure how to end this poem.
Nothing being resolved and all.
Maybe I should just say:
Halleluia!
I lived to the end of it.
