Will We Ever Be Again

-Will We Ever Be Again-
by

God in Heaven
To you I pose
A most sincere
Seemingly dire question
Will we ever be again
Or is this life
That we are living
Simply all that is.

For the longest time
I have washed my hands of you
And the plight of my species
I couldn't have cared less
But now that I am near death
Now that I must face
All that is coming next
A renewed sense of what if
Has hit me in the head
Like a bag of bricks.

The curious nature of such insight
Is not because I am afraid
Of the choices that I have made
Or because I am concerned
With regards to my soul
I am sure all that has been
And all that I have done
Has secured my place
Within the depths of the end.

Whatever you deem right
I will gladly accept as such
I am not seeking
Forgiveness or atonement
I am not professing my love
Or screaming of my lack thereof
I am only asking a question
A detailed human introspection
Set outward for others benefit from.

The answer to such an innocuous
Question as the one that I am posing
Is a universal need that others
Have long since expressed
Dare I say that I have the balls to ask
While others seemingly neutered refuse.

Crush me under you thumb
Destroy me and all that I live
Do what you must, what you dare
But before that, please the answer
Unequivocally stated with clarity
Will we ever be again
If you please God, answer
If not for me then for them…
