God has forgotten to care God has forgotten that somewhere Down here There are children crying into their pillow Hoping to smother the demons clawing at their eyes God has forgotten to see that somewhere There is a girl who has insecurities like wings that fly her into the abyss of loneliness God had forgotten that his children are knee deep in sorrow and hatred God has forgotten to care because he is too busy watching friends’ reruns in SpongeBob underwear and an espresso pressed to his lips. God has forgotten to care that our first instinct is fire Words in our mouths are like loaded guns pressed to our temple Acid pours with the rain Burning the ground Sodden with footprints of the weary God has forgotten that people are only people. When we ask where god is The answer is “listening to a nirvana mix tape, getting high enough to stomp on the world” Letting his big toe crush our spirits And his athlete’s foot is giving us rashes God doesn’t ******* care God has forgotten how to. We are our only hope. Salvation for ourselves, because god is gone. He left with Jesus to go to palates The only way that we will live is to remember to care.
