Failure

Dear God in Heaven, what went wrong on Earth?

I’d ask him if I were to believe he was listening,
I’d blame him for every time humanity failed,
’cause he’s the one who had to create some puppets,
dump them on some planet far away from Heaven.

I know I’d have to thank him, too,
for life, opportunities, nature, maybe even love.

But I’m human: in the end, I need someone to blame
for everything I did wrong, I just really need
an excuse for my behaviour, all of my actions.

I’m sorry, World. We screwed you up, badly.
I’m sorry, God. I don’t believe you’re listening.
