What Goes On In God's Backyard
We're the arrows that God uses for his bow, and most of the time, he's missing
He's drunk in his backyard and blindly picking us up from the dirt ground
He's just about to shoot when his favorite song comes on and he unsteadily twirls around
After a while, he's sobering up and makes one close to the bullseye
This is his queue to grab another drink
We wait, sprawled around in the dirt, surrounded by mounds of trinkets and trash, hoping he'll give us another shot.

My country
Our world
