a poem by Joshua Brown

 

 

I saw a flower blooming

Soaking up the rays of sun

Petals flashing into brilliance

Strengthened by the Holy One.

 

God opened up the bloodied curtains

And looked out into earth's expanse

He saw the little flower blooming

He smiled soft and began to dance

 

Behind Him gunman stood

Gunpowder in the air

A three-hole mask concealed

An angry deadly stare

 

A happy cloud passed by the sun

And waved with friendly smile kind

The flower called out in cheerful glee

"Hello" the picture-perfect mind.

 

God fell out the window

Deep into outer space

A God betrayed by God

The shadowed sunken face

 

The bullet flew through Heaven's Gate

Propelled by vicious, blank emotes.

A crack rang out, spine-tingling crime

Shards of pearl flitting, anxious zygotes.

 

The war in heav'n raged

While earth in quiet slept.

Gods and Seraphs battle

Cherubs wailed and wept.
