Jehova, Honestly!

I am glad I took a moment
Could have easily closed the door
or never opened it in the first place
But hey, I have nothing to hide
and noone to hide from
So I talk to these handsome boys
They say there is evidence in This Book
of- Kingdom!
And a perfectly good
(though no guarantees regarding sane)
explanation
to the reasons for human suffering.
Compassionately they express hope
for me
that a belief in a personified God
could be possible again...
at some point?
perhaps once a loved one passes away
this might scare me enough
to project all my hopes and fears
and irrational childish desires
onto that Good and Loving Father?
No I say, It didnt.
They have given up on instant salvation
for me
but believe, really believe
that all is not lost for me
if only I could see...

I conclude this awkward exchange
(well, I am after all wearing a bikini top)
by lifting my arms
and reading out my rib tattoo:
"Islands Holding Hands" I say
This is my faith.
The boys retreat
with comments on my accent
and the meaning of my name.

Honestly Jehova,
what a waste of time.
