The Bigman

The Bigman


When you speak to The Bigman
don’t mention me
I don’t know who I am yet, so please
When you do they prayers you were trained to believe
Don’t mention me

He never helped
when I was down and out
He never came
was nowhere to be found

Though I prayed
most minutes of every day
for Him to stop by
or at least keep me safe

Though I waited and begged
for Him to make things better
He never came
no text, no call, no letter

And I am sick of having arguments
with things I cannot see
so, when you speak to The Bigman
don’t mention me

No, I cannot believe
in what I cannot see
and I cannot touch
what has never touched me

Never been seen
or proved to be
so, if you speak to The Bigman
don’t mention me

Sometimes I find it's 20/20 when I look back my prayer was answered.
