you can't have one without the other

god kisses scraped knees
and wipes away rolling tears

he worries about his children;
the boys and the girls
and the adults and the babies
and probably even the pandas

god keeps a vase of sunflowers on his desk in the clouds
and sends the real son to remind his children he is there

he probably thinks that its cool that you wrote a song
and maybe he is waiting for you to teach him how to play it

god wants me to help kiss the scraped knees
of the kids he can't reach because he is too far away

god flooded the world
and killed my aunt.
god created depression and anxiety
and god is the reason she can't sleep at night.
god is responsible for the holocaust
and for slavery.

god is not real.
