God Laughs

-God Laughs-
by Keaton Foster



Fear
Flee
Run if need
Hide you must
Appear
Low key
Out of sight
Out of mind
God
The one above
He’s the judge
He knows
Understands
All of our sins
His hands
Are not clean
After repeated
Washing
There are still
The faintest of stains
Mortal
He once was
Immoral
He must have been
In the slightest
I’ll dare contend
No doubt
Plenty of chagrin
If and when
The scale of much right
And all that is wrong
Needs balancing
It is those sins
He uses as weight
But such heaviness
Only goes so far
Throwing things
Out of balance
Into a state of skew
That is when
He’ll be coming
Down from the sky
Into our lives
Taking what’s his
Removing our life
Or the life of another
One so deeply loved
All lessons to him
Are exactly the same
In both payment
And severity
There is no doubt
Without question
That salvation helps
That it lessens the blow
Maybe even realigns
What is out of tow
You’ll have a home
Beyond skin and bones
You’ll be redeemed
In God’s sweet release
You’ll know peace
But when you are alive
When you are still
Such a fallible beast
God’s will treat you no less
Then those who are not his
If need be
He will crucify you
And anyone you love
In order to make a point
An ounce of blood
Goes a long way
Towards the balance
So if you please
Fear
Flee
Run screaming
God above is coming
Back down
From heaven above
If you wish
I’ll say you must
Appear
Low key
Out of sight
Out of mind
Either matters nil
God laughs
Scoffs at the idea
That you or anyone
Is untouchable
Incorruptible
All can be affected
By his will and might
All can be made examples of
Because sin
Left unchecked
Will dismantle all of this
Will lead to a world
Out of balance
And without balance
There will be nothing
To save us from ourselves…
