The Last Say

When you knock, ask to see God – none of the servants. - Thoreau

take a long drag

let the smoke loiter on your lips

strip naked

open a bottle

scratch a lottery ticket

thrust a stymieing needle of hope down into a deep blue vein

take careful aim

try your best to erase the pain

before you fall of the edge and go insane

follow a trail of crumbs

curse

pray

they all take the same amount of effort

have the same amount of sway

i'm always amazed at how, why, when

and which way

they each have their say

Author's Note

"He listens equally to the prayers of the believer and the unbeliever." - Thoreau

Fun read - the way you wrote this. As for what you wrote, I like the drive in your words it fits the many types of situation one could find themselves in to do what you write. Wonderfully explained and expressed! Tyfs
