Defiant God

God, I defy You to inspire me,
I prayed; He did--the inspiration for
this poem He gave with such alacrity,
I was amazed, for letting me explore
how swift He struck like lightning in response
to my defiant and most daring prayer
to show He wants to satisfy my wants
and prove effectively He's really there,
attentive, waiting just for me to pray,
oblivious to any other one
at any moment, hour, or any day,
reacting now before my prayer is done.
I am in awe, Lord, that You're quite at home
with my defiant fifteen-minute poem.
