Big Smile, Little Frown
Look God,
It’s just one big, monstrous loop,
Viciously beating itself to death only to restart over and over again and
We, the people, are all so very sick of it.
So let’s just say we broke our own little hearts -
We’ll forget your part in the whole thing and
We can play ever so nicely and never fight again, ok?
Because
We can no longer hug each other to the highest happiness
Nor raise the lowest from the most lowly of lows.
Maybe you can give us wonderful blank new masks so
We can forget who we are and try to get along.
Oh, and we'll be very careful what we ask,
We know we might not like the answers too much.
We never do.
So please God,
Just grow up.
Calm down.
Big smile.
Little frown.
