A short conversation between Man and God

Do you hear me?

by Mickamus J

Hail almighty one, the one that I serve and venerate in accordance with my birthright

I have but served you all these years with a pensive heart that would ride through any calamity.

With my head held high with the love and perseverance of a devoted pilgrim of faith.

Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t you the one I met the other day outside the shop?

You look so familiar and something about your eyes set you apart!

Wait, you mean to tell me that you have been the one I have been worshipping all these years?

I mean, what a trip that is.

Here I was thinking about a being that I have nothing to relate with

And yesterday, I had the most down-to-earth conversation with the One True God.

What do you mean that you have always been that way?

That is not the way that you are portrayed, you know.

Just so different.

I thought that this would be an awe-inspiring moment.

What do you mean, every day and second is awe-inspiring?

What do you mean that I have done my part?

I am just a simple person and I have been trying my best to live the life that you have shown me to.

I have nothing else to believe anymore.

I have been battered and broken,

I feel nothing works anymore,

Prayers, no, faith, no

Nothing works.

What happened?

Where are the ones that should be looking after us?

What has happened to them? Are they dead or lost or what?

I heard years ago when my mother, god rest her soul,

She said, times are changing, my son,

Life is not the same anymore,

Values and faith are considered filth in the coming days.

Be strong and faithful.

It is not easy but you have to survive this.

Always remember that you are not alone,

All people are suffering and not many are living the way that we should

No matter what faith we have.

It is those with small minds and faithless,

They are the ones that need the most love and prayers.

I wish that I could be there for you,

But I think that it would be difficult for me.

Remember me and mark my words,

Faith will come with a price in the future,

And what was said will come to pass.

That was what my mother said,

Is she right? Or have things changed?

They have not changed, and it is getting to be more difficult,

Man, I wish you had better news.

I guess that will have to do for now.

But what about my family and kids?

What do I do about them?

Oh, share the faith with them, eh?

Ok, I will do that as how my mother had.

I am sure they still remember her.

Take care, God,

Will I see you soon?
