THE DROWNING GOD

I met with God

On the bathroom floor

I prayed to the toilet

As oft times before

I sat with God

At the foot of my bed

We argued for ages

I forgot what he said

I swam with God

In the tumbling sea

When I asked, what is grace

He tried drowning me

I knelt with God

Where the shadows grow tall

Where the word, it is written

By the light of the stars

Searching for freedom

In the earth, I dug deeper

But the entrance to heaven

Was the eye of a needle

I abandoned all hope

And surrendered to faith

While down the dirt road

The devil did the same.
