Bethel Park: Life on Mars
The Frames of Life
In my big, pitch black room
All the time in forever to do what I please,
But I cannot relax, for I have children to watch.
As I sit and watch each child live their lives in these small frames, I realize I created them
Some frames are nearly perfect, and others have the crack of evil in them.
Some just have scratches, and yet I think that none of them are perfect
and that is how I wanted.
Because if they were, how would they learn,
how would they know that I am here to help in hard times.
Each one is mine and yet I have no presence or voice to speak or communicate with them
Some are empty because they have finally joined me in Eden, yet some have not.
It fills my heart with joy to see them live there lives through me.
And as I keep watching, as my heart starts to warm, in each frame,
what ever they are doing, the big, bright yellow ball peaks out of each frame.
