a poetic disproval of my faith

dear heavenly father,
why do i begin
every prayer with that prhase
and end with amen?

if you were a friend
i’d greet you with a hey, whats up
end with a sly wave
and plans for tomorrow
or next week or never
and you get neither

if you were authority
excuse me sir & thank you
you get neither

you are a fantasy
i created
to help me deal with the world

you may love everyone
but you belong to me alone
