cold dark space

Do you think that by showing your power
Dusting the world with white
Will overshadow the pain?
The blue sky and silence on the street
Will distract the pain
These parents face without their little man?
Why do you need him now?
A piece of heaven would do so much good here on earth.
You selfish God.
Why do you need him now?
His giggle, his toothless grin,
his ability to make everyone around forget their troubles
the white will melt soon to reveal the ugliness of our world that you left behind,
taking with you the best of it.
Why do you need him now?
You have all that has ever been beautiful here;
Why take him?
He was completely appreciated here-here is where his mother and father and brothers and uncles and aunts and cousins are.
Not there.
He was not suffering; he was utterly happy here
This is his home. Not there, not yet.
This was not supposed to happen now.
You made a mistake. Give him back.
The white is turning to grey; the grey will vanish to nothing.
Which is what you’ve left us all with.
