I Know You'll Be There, O Lord

---

Somewhere in the night,
One day next week,
In the United States of America,
A psycho will kidnap a young girl.
He will rape her,
Torture her,
And, finally, kill her.
Her agony, unspeakable, unbearable,
Will last for hours;
And all the time that this is happening,
You, O Lord, will be sitting up in heaven ...
Watching ...
In all your vast omnipotence ...
And not doing a goddam thing to stop it.
