god stabbed me in the back.
he shoved a knife in my flesh,
twisted the blade between my bones,
held me tight and whispered:
'this is when you kneel.
this, right here,
is when you believe me.'
he laid me gently on the cold
ground, as a father would a son,
and looked into my eyes.
'this moment, right now,
is when you know i'm the big
and undeniable deal.'
i thrashed and wailed and
refused to obey and accept,
but i knew i had asked for it.
god stabbed me in the back.
he guided me to where you stood,
smiling and laughing under the sun,
held me tight and whispered:
'this is when you kneel.
this, right here,
is when you believe me.'
