Supplication


As your being, I am led astray. 
I seek meaning and purpose in the trivial
And abandon the promise of eternity
You wouldn’t understand; time is not of the essence to you.
What may feel like 1000 years to you is a day to me.
So I take a detour- to the edge of earth!

As your being, you are cursed with boundless love or the threat of hell.
But damnation is not like you, 
The so-called Ever-living, Ever-loving.
I feel like I've reached the end of a road.
Grasping for meaning.
You wouldn't understand, you are everything.

As your being, I suffer insufficiency.
It is hard for me to consistently see nuance in the pattern of life, 
unless, of course, the point is to get lost in the madness of existence as is.

As your being, I will flee from your view like Adam.
Like the first time he told a lie.

As your being, I’ll scream from beyond the grave and demand that you play omnipotent!

Will you destroy me with your wrath? Or will you save me?
Unless, of course, it's the same thing.
