The God that isn't
is in the hospital
following the gurney
that's headed for the operating room.

The God that isn't
is under the car
where the girl is pinned
after the accident.

The God that isn't
is in the trenches of war
alongside the boys
who huddle in fear.

The God that isn't
is on the ceiling
of the darkened bedroom
when you can't sleep.

The God that isn't
is or isn't
depending on where
life finds you.

Quite honestly, I love the duality of this. I know you don't know me but I am going to reveal something about myself. I spent 10 years in an orphanage as a child. When I was 5 I was put in a tub full of of straight hot water to " wash my sins away " By the time I was 6 ? I put the hot water in myself, and taught myself to deal with it. I am defiant as HELL ! lol and you know what ? God likes that about me. These people could have beat out whatever decent belief I had in me, and I could have succumb to their "religious" torture. I didn't... God is with me, and he always will be. Sorry if that is too forward, but that is what you made think of :)
