oh i still write a poem or two here and there.

Heart Failure (unfinished)

Is the common cold of cardiovascular conditions,
doctors and physicians used to say - pesky as hell, leaving
hypochondriacs shaking in their boots! So when Pvt. Riddick
succumbed to it, all I could do was think,
This man dodged bullets in Japan for years and
God doesn't think that his heart is strong enough?

Interesting fact: studies show that God answers one prayer
for roughly every 750,000 received, subjectively:
So for some, their wish for the cops to pull over
the other guy is answered just in time.
As for the unlucky ones, their request for a dirty dirty martini
or death by dirty dirty martini go by unnoticed, unanswered and

when Riddick decided that his dying wish was to stop shaking,
stop gulping for air like a fish, screaming about the Japs' bayonets,
God was already off the clock, on his lunch break,
and the union would crumble if one of its most-vocal leaders
was getting paid under the table. Tabloid headline reads:
        Controversy in Heaven! God involved
        in illegal stock trading, money laundering, racketeering! or
        God is the father of 3 illegitimate children born to an underpaid waitress!
