You know how when there’s a disaster where a bunch of <br />people are killed and the one guy who survives thanks God? <br />I think that’s a pretty screwed up perspective on the situation. <br />I know he’s happy to be alive, but if anything, he should be <br />cursing God for letting everyone else perish. <br /> <br />Now, why did God save this one guy’s sorry ass? Because the <br />guy went to church and prayed? I’m sure some of those folks <br />who perished did that too. <br /> <br />I know what you’re going to say – that it’s all part of God’s <br />mysterious plan. What an ignorant explanation that is! <br />And it’s not even an explanation. <br /> <br />I suppose Hitler was part of God’s plan too? And what about <br />Michael Bolton? Was it God’s plan to make that talentless hack <br />a superstar? Now that I think of it, maybe it was God himself <br />who went out and bought up all those CDs in order to <br />artificially run Bolton up the charts. If that’s the case, then it’s <br />true that God has a very mysterious plan. But at least he has a <br />sense of humor.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanks-for-the-disaster/
