Lawrence S. Pertillar - Great Attempt

Oh my God...
Nothing in this life
Comes quick and easy.
No one that is born is well prepared.
No one comes to declare sweet treatment.
No one, My Father.
Especially me.

Oh my God...
The days of struggle,
Seem to be carried backpacked!
Efforts to lighten the load,
Adds onto it another sack.
My legs begin to buckle...
And I am feeling quite hemmed in,
Strapped!

'I'm told it's suppose to be like that! '

Oh my God...
Divine Oneness that keeps,
The Oneness of Love...
We seek for all eternity!
So that we may dance on clouds forever!
Singing hymns in devoted trust!
Are You laughing at us,
That You can have us like this trapped?
Can those of us not finding this funny...
Skip these 'reanactments',
That amuse for Your pleasure.
To relax in the company of heavenly endeavors!
And get the wings missed,
To affix and seal permanently on our backs! ?
Without having to go through this nonsense,
And crap!

'Some of us are not up for parole just yet!
Pick that up!
Learn to carry your own weight!
Great attempt...
But you are not 'that' special!
Move it! '

GOD?

'god, god, god? ? ?
Look! He is busy!
He tried to reach you.
You weren't listening!
He will contact you!
Make an appointment!
Now pick up your tribulations,
And get your butt back on that mission! '
