The dog of eternity
A poem on disasters and the weirdos who celebrate them
An act of God, stole the water,
And sent it back again
The sirens blare but don’t be scared! tsunamis are our friends
*
Father had a heart attack
When no help was around
He laid right down to die on the playground
The little girl in the toddler swing begged him to get up
But when she stopped screaming the sun kept baking and that was her bitter cup
*
Hurricanes poured out their hate upon the shivering East
Mean while fires raged throughout the West and charred the city streets
And all the land shook and crumbled as the fault lines finally broke
While the doom-cult’s eyes reveled in the feast of disasters round the globe
*
And a little homeless boy shares some food with a little homeless dog
The puppy loves him and he loves it back despite its slavering jaws
They cuddle close throughout the night to fight against the cold
But the well-loved dog is rabid so the boy will not grow old
*
Sometimes the Lord giveth in order to take away
When the Faithful watch the pain with glee they herald judgment day
*
And for these strange gluttons all catastrophes are a joy
They circle up like vultures and pray to be God’s favorite hated toy
These misanthropes quickly forget that God is only love
And they glory in evils they think to be anger from above
*

Such a powerful poem Sam. Feel like you’ve summed up this year where we blame people for their own misfortunes and revel in their pain.
Zealots and tyrants working in the name of good..God. Thinking themselves God's toys. Yep.
God's favourite hated toy, that really stood out to me. Your poem was so poignant and emotional. I loved it!
