273 Poem by RIC BASTASA

try to look at it from a different
perspective
dexter

when your prayers are not granted
it is not because
you do not deserve to be there
it is not because
you are lesser that those who are now
seated in the front
handshaking with greatness

it is simply because
God has barred the door
where you are going to enter
the room of your
perdition

just wait
the right door for you
is yet unfinished
the room there
is suited for you
and for no other

soon, you will understand
but i know for sure
God has always heard you
