I keep getting these
Texts telling me
That God has a plan
For my life. Never
Mind the question
As to why God has
To spam my phone
To get my attention,
Let’s stick to the whole
“Plan” part. Without
Going into detail here,
I can say, looking back
On my life, that the
Idea of an all-knowing
And loving creator
Scripting the part I’ve
Had to live is far more
Absurd than the notion
That there’s no sky daddy
at all. And I don’t
Mean absurd in a fun and
Wacky way. Unless,
You’re one of the very
Lucky ones, you know,
if you’re willing to look at
your Life honestly. What
I’m Tempted to text back is
That I have a plan for
God’s Life. And that plan
Is to force him, her, it, or
Whatever, to suffer every
Indignity and horror that
Each and every one of “his”
Sentient creations has had
To face: from living in a state
Of ulcerous stress, all the way
Up to torture, rape, and murder,
Not just the pain that humans
Have had to endure, but let’s
Work in the misery of the
Little bleeding piglets crying
Out for their mothers on the
Factory farms’ killing floors
So the duped deists can
Munch their bacon. And of
Course, so many
Other sentient horrors
Too innumetable to
Begin to list. One
Crucifixion, which didn’t
Happen as advertised,
Wasn’t enough.
