You Pushed Me*

You pushed me.
I felt it between my shoulder blades
And, Lo…!
I was out there!
Exposed in the harrowed rows
Jagged stone against my raw skin
Virgin to the blistering sun
And scorched earth.

How could you have so casually changed my world?
Reset my parameters
Like a factory default
Returning me to some primal existence?

And now You smile from the throne
Trying my character
Testing my anger.

I am enraged!

Let us remember
Before you reduce my walls to dust
Before you turn my rivers to powder
My seas to blood
Before you cover me in darkness
Choke me in locust
And slay my firstborn…

You pushed me.

(* I learned the hard way that God is able to handle my foolish anger)
