“God Doesn’t Hold Meetings on Fridays”
God doesn’t hold meetings on Fridays.
Mostly because Muhammad and Allah are too busy.
It’s second largest world religion,
with thousands of mosque to oversee,
and millions of prayer requests to sort.
They don’t have time for things that could have been an email.
So team meetings are always on Mondays,
in the ballroom on the top floor of Spirit Inc.
Every religion and its representatives gather
around the grandest table you’ve ever seen.
The big three take the top spots: Christianity. Islam. Hinduism.
Seated in colored chairs, all eyes remain upon them as the break down the agenda piece by piece:
First, the annual Postal Service Renewal.
A unanimous vote for Apollo, cause no one’s done it better than the Greeks.
Second, reminders for all angels and earth-traveling spirits to pay their union dues.
Everyone would greatly appreciate no repeats of last year’s strike,
no message could get back down to earth for months.
Third, inquiring about expanding Heaven’s school system to include:
5 more elementary, 3 more middle, and 3 more high schools.
Record number of kids are arriving at the gates each week,
looking for family, friends, anyone who just speaks their language.
The leaders can’t in good faith not educate the next generation before reincarnation, but now even Artemis’s summer camp can barely hold them all.
This is the kind of stuff they go through, every week like clockwork.
Reminders about Jesus leading children’s choir on Sunday, the upcoming Holi Festival, or Bernstein’s big performances for the summer.
In Heaven, the unfinished symphonies of earth always get to take their full form.
Every life gets to be lived out the way that every person wants to.
Dreams are limitless, knowledge is forever shared,
and the only thing Spirit Inc. is ever likely to run out of is copy paper.
