FARCE (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

THE PLAYERS WERE READY,

THE SCRIPT HAD BEEN READ.

THE LIGHTS WERE ALL ON,

AND THE AUDIENCE HAD BEEN LED 
INTO THE AUDITORIUM.

IT WAS A FARCE, A SHAM.

AND NOT KINOWING I WAS A PART OF IT,

I WENT ON WITH THEM

.

THEY HAD ALL STUDIED THEIR LINES, 
KNEW JUST WHERE TO STAND.

BUT ME, BEING IN THE DARK, 
HAD TO AD LIB MY PART.

IT WAS A FARCE, A SHAM,

AND NOT KNOWING I WAS A PART OF IT,

I WENT ON WITH THEM.

THE FIRST ACT WENT FINE,

THE SECOND WENT WELL.

BUT WHEN THE THIRD ACT STARTED,

IT TURNED INTO HELL.

IT WAS A FARCE, A SHAM.

AND NOT KNOWING MY PART,

I WENT ON WITH THEM.

THEN WITHOUT WARNING

THEIR SMILES TURNED INTO SNARLS,

THEIR HANDS INTO CLAWS.

THEIR EYES SUDDENLY TURNED BLOOD RED.

AND TOO LATE I REALIZED

THAT IT WAS A FARCE, A SHAM,
AND NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO,
 I WENT ON WITH THEM.

BUT TO THEIR DISMAY 
I SUDDENLY REMEMBERED MY PART.
BECAUSE, YOU SEE, I HAD READ THE END.
I WAS NO LONGER IN THE DARK, 
IT WAS NO LONGER A FARCE OR A SHAM,
  AND I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT
MY SIDE WOULD WIN.
AND LUCKY FOR ME
THEY DIDN'T SEE
THAT THEIR SCAM
WAS A PART
OF GOD'S PLAN.
AMEN.

PSALM 89:8

WHO IS LIKE YOU, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY? YOU, LORD, ARE MIGHTY, AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS SURROUNDS YOU.
