God
You didn’t respond to my text the other night
Wondering what’s next
Like I always do in times like these
I need a savior
Or more time to wiggle out of the mess I made
The escapade I so foolishly stepped into like
The dirty puddles my mother always told me to steer clear of
Tracking footprints through the back door
Trying to clean the floor before she comes down stairs
With hell and brimstone in the form of a broken broomstick
I called your cell phone
Left a private message on your WhatsApp chat
Wanting to explain to you the whole
This and that
No “out of office” notification from your Outlook mail account
My anxieties starting to mount like inflation prices on the grocery shelve
I needed you at eleven
Waited until way past twelve
Furious fingers texting you again
I remember when I had a direct line to your private room
When I could just type in your passcode
And we would instantly zoom for hours on end
I remember when
And it wasn’t too long ago
Maybe my phone battery needs a charge
Used both AC bricks
The small one, then the large
But that wasn’t the case at all as I stare at the screen
So far still calm and serene
As I wait for a response to my urgent request
I thought I was your homie
But feeling now like an unwanted guest
Needing an answer, advice or a way out of this situation
I so foolishly found my way into a few hours ago
Just wanted you to know
Before it got to you and I had a chance to explain
And apologize before the “you know what” hits the fan
If anybody can get me out of this thing
I know you are da man
But while I was stressing
Planning, scheming on getting out through the right door
And into the parking lot downstairs
Working out in my mind the plan A and plan B
Silently humming
Nearer My God To Thee
Possible lifetime of hell for a minute of fun
So at the time I thought
And actively sought you out the minute it was done
I need you now, brutha God!
You is the one who can get me out of this mess
Just like you done the many times before
I promise
I won’t do this mess no more
Honest and true…
