Letters to God cannot be sent! Written by E.B. Wilkes!
I’d like to write an urgent
letter today,
but haven’t a clue
where to send it.
Damn, I wish I knew!
If I had the address
I’m sure the delivery charge
would be too costly;
because, the distance is
beyond any known.
If in deed I could obtain
the address,
I don’t even know what type
of delivery service to employ
in order to get the letter to
where it needs to go;
after all, I don’t think the Heavens
are bound by borders.
The letter I have in mind
would be to the God unseen
or heard.
I’m not even sure
the type of language
He uses.
I’m not even sure
He exists,
because down here on Earth
man-made Religions of many
have too many twists,
and give the God unseen
or heard,
way too many names,
and adapt to many claims
that this invisible and inaudible being
was said to proclaim.
Earthlings even war for the right
to call the God their very own.
Heck, even if I knew where God lived
and how to send it, and what language suited Him best,
or what man-made Religion he endorses,
I’m not sure if He’d be the right God for me
to send my letter to…Above all, who the heck
would be able to deliver it?
I’d even be afraid to send it
because, I don’t want to get in trouble
with the delusion-ally envisioned
that made the decision
their God is for them only,
but not for me.
I think I’ll play it safe,
and just pray
in the language
I speak;
and hope like hell,
that there is a God
and if there is
I hope that the right God
understands my questions,
and gives me and inaudible answer.
