Forever Satire

If we were never to know a chortle from mishaps,
find a smile in irony,
look at some creatures and wonder
was this really the work
of a serious craftsman of creativity,
then our eyes are blessed
when we embrace
that between the thou shalls and shall nots,
all the rumors of thunderbolts,
every dread of divine judgment,
which never strikes us dead,
but keeps us terrified at night,
the Lord really did make satire
apart of this life.

It’s just an issue of timing,
like perhaps He has a whoopee cushion
upon his throne,
or maybe some angels
spend time doing stand up
outside of flying and singing praises.

After all, when you consider it,
seems like the devil really is the one
without a sense of humor,
can’t blame him in some ways
given nothing he plans
ever comes out the way he expects.

So quite possibly
the real place called hell,
is that realm where no one can still even chuckle
and all they get is monotony ,
along with some really piss poor knock knock jokes.
