God's Confession

GOD'S CONFESSION

I was sitting along

In a god forsaken bar

Somewhere on the lunatic fringes

Of society

On the bad part of town

Over by railroad tracks

Heading to hell

As fast as I could drink it down

Enjoying my lonely drink

Drinking by my lonesome self

With my partners

Jimmy Dean, and the Walker brother

And his old Granddad

Just drinking and hanging

With the Jack Daniel's gang

A crazed bum

With a thousand year stare

Walks up to me

He begins

Muttering to himself

Nutty nonsense

Crazy words

In a lunatic's voice

He had the look

Of one possessed

By his own demons

That only he can see

Or hear

Possessed by a secret knowledge

Only he knew

Despite myself

I was fascinated

By this lunatic's tale

So I stopped him

And said

So what's your game

Anyway

The short little dude

Stopped his insane prattle

Starting at me

With that thousand year old stare

Just another washed up

Lunatic

Too many drugs

Too many bad nights

On the wrong side of life

He looked at me

And proclaimed his story

He reared up

And filled up the room

And lifted the bar

On his finger

And stared down at me

From the sky

And said

Since you asked

I am God

The alpha and Omega

The real deal

The original dude of dudes

The sultan of Swing

God of hosts

And father of that Jesus dude

But no one knows me

Any more

No one cares

They think I am irrelevant

They think I am dead

They think I am a fairy tale

From some olden, ancient time

Some say I am dead

Others think I should be dead

That my work is done

I looked at him

Carefully now

And what did I see

An old man

With that lunatic look

But there was something else

He was crazy

Sure yes

But perhaps he was the real deal

I mean why not

Why would not God be

A lunatic wandering around loose

Talking to low lifes like me

In a bar

On the way to hell

So I looked at him

And invited him to share

His tale of woe

God tells me

Well, it's like this

Many a year ago

People believed in me

But one day

They quit believing in me

And they went on without me

As they left me

My powers got weaker and weaker

And so eventually I became

What you see today

A broken down drunk

Hanging out

Looking for a hand out

Looking for some company

Or at least a free dinner

And he laughed and laughed

And I looked at him

And saw the beginnings of the end

And the ends of the beginnings

I saw a million planets

Flash by

A billion people

A trillion sentient beings

Thinking all at once

Thoughts filled my head

Lights flashed

And I knew

He was telling the truth

But it did not matter

In this day and age

Of materialism

God has no role

God is truly dead

And so I bought him a drink

And walked out of the bar

Profoundly sadden by what I had seen

God was dead

And we had all conspired

To kill him

Long live God
