God’s Imperfect Pilot

In a perfect world I dreamed today

I was in the present but far away

In a perfect world the spouse who didn’t stay

Fantasies are short lived but the mice will play,

Stretched beyond my wildest dreams

My nocturnal journey it always seems

The new reality of internet live streams

Fond memories of faded blue jeans,

Out of control my cockpit is inverted

My once free country has been converted

Betrayed by politics that are awfully perverted

In a perfect world the truth would be inserted,

Pitching and yawing out of control

The G forces slamming my helmet against the console

That exploding missile left a hole

Only God can save my immortal soul,

Oxygen starved I’m blacked out

Even the ejection seat raises doubts

Somehow I come to wondering what it’s about

In a perfect world the Lord has all the clout,

Vanquishing all enemies of evil we pray

But this has been a scary day

The vessel of my life almost went astray

In a perfect world there’d be no dismay,

Drifting in midair below my canopy

The silence of the atmosphere around me

Descending to a place where I’ll be free

Father, defeat whoever is my enemy,

In a perfect world I danced with my demise

Unlike some fools I came out of it wise

Soaring once again above the lies

For truth there is no compromise,

In a perfect world those I loved wouldn’t die

They may be in heaven but still I cried

We’re all in this realm where Satan lies

A father who loves his children can only sigh.
