In The Hospital Series with Rich Krueger #1
Damn Glad to Meet You
Dedicated to Harold Lohr, Richard Thompson, John Doyle, Nick Drake & Spinoza
Among the panoply of thoughts
A-swimming in your head
Many drown before they ever spy dry land
Same could be said of truth
For colors are always bled
And again for troubled men like you
Numerous as grains of sand
Relax
This is no interview
I already know more about you than you do
Relax
This will all be over soon
First meetings can feel odd
But I’m damn glad to meet you
My name’s God
Let me guess
Right now you’re scared
Terrified just how your life might end up tared
Funny thing is
Death’s a lot like life
Often it is terribly unfair
But trust me
There is a difference
Unlike life, death lasts a good deal longer
Understand
There are things you’ll never understand
In spite of all I’ve said
You often go unheeded
When you’re God
Some men, they oh so love themselves
They claim that they know my mind
They believe somehow they’re justified
They condemn more often than they are kind
As God I put so little store in sin
I know I made men fools
They rarely know just what they’re worth
Reeking havoc hapless ruin
to their precious earth
But I know all
So I know this
Take care if eternal life is what you wish
The secret is
You’ll live as long as you exist
Blessed or damned amongst the thoughts
of living men
Don’t blame me
You sod
I’m only God
