John Lawless Poet Free verse

TALKING TO GOD

Having finally gotten through
The AI sentries
Dismissed all the references
Quoted from old books
Shaken the scent of incense
The diversion of bells
The echoed reverberance
Of traffic jammed words

I finally got through to GOD
Asked him what I should do 
He replied “stop thinking about ME”
And how I can help YOU “
“stop telling people that I love them
If you don’t”
“and stop using MY WILL
As an excuse for not using
Your will…I gave it to you
For a reason.

I suggested he should have a Podcast
He chuckled mumbling
“satan’s got that covered”
“from both sides”

Paula Goldsmith December 31, 2025 at 10:45 AM Your "TALKING TO GOD" is a wonderful write. I call 1-800-God. Oh yes, Satan has both sides covered. That is what he does best. Thank You, for reading/writing this year on my work. "Happy New Year 2026" Have A Very Blessed New Year Writing Away................
