I’ll be honest, God. <br />This world is embarassing. <br />Is this the realm where You rested <br />on the seventh day and said, <br />“It is good.”? <br />Certainly you should be proud of Yourself, <br />you made a beautiful world. <br />On the other hand, <br />why does Your so-called crowning creation, <br />mankind, have to be gassing, maiming, <br />exploding, poisoning, plotting, eradicating, <br />expunging, polluting, raping and pillaging? <br />Why, god, why? <br />Don’t give me any of that Cain and Abel crap. <br />I’m a Jew, but the bible sucks, <br />it explains nothing. <br />This is the twenty first century. <br />I want to duck down some rabbit hole <br />for the next few decades, <br />find someplace to hide. <br />Otherwise, I’m going to have to witness <br />what is to come, and I don’t like it. <br />How about this, God? <br />Let’s change the bible to make an eighth day of creation. <br />On the seventh You rested and said, “It is good.” <br />On the eighth, You took another look and said, <br />“Uh oh, I think this still needs a little work.”<br /><br />Art Rosch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-jew-talks-to-god-in-the-twenty-first-century/
