How do you know? -(2/6/13)

How do we really know

That we are good people?

How do we know

If God is smiling?

Is He really there?

Or are we just alone;

Out on our own?

Is it debatable or fact?

Or a debatable fact?

Or is this all just to give Him a good laugh?

How can anyone be so sure?

We are so imperfect

Who are we to be confident?

Are we really that self-important?

What if everything's backwards

And we're all hanging in the balance

Upside down, faces cherried

Cuffed by the toes

Left with no hope.

 

What if you're wrong?
