What if God…

written by: Aparna J

@AparnaJwriter

What if God decided to take a break?
And thousands of prayers are left unheard.
What if He started taking vacations?
Ignoring pleas and requests unanswered.

Have we ever thought of expressing our gratitude?
To the Supreme Power for working Relentlessly.
Despite our showing attitude,
He is working for our welfare endlessly.

What if God decided to go on a strike?
Refusing to oblige us until we obey His Commands,
And order us for a Prayer hike,
And compel us to give in to His Demands.

What if God started throwing tantrums?
Refusing to listen to our chanting His name,
I guess the world would be in doldrums.
And the universe wouldn’t be the same.

What if God starts blaming us,
For causing Him endless troubles?
Chaos will rule the world, creating ruckus.
And human anxiety doubles.

Be grateful to Him for He forgives us
For all our past sins and transgressions.
He sacrificed His Son, Jesus.
To give us Eternal Life and salvation.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
