Absent Minded
The God Trainer
How would you feel
if your dog was better looking
than you?
How would you feel
if every day was a dog show
and they praised you dog
but never commented on how much work u put into the training?
This is the story of the god trainer
And when god runs away from the trainer
where does he go?
And what tricks has the trainer taught him
will we ever know?
Can you be a god trainer
and survive the show?
how would you feel having everyone love him
and treating you like an animal?
The god trainer taught god everything
through centuries of practice
feats of unequal measure
to put together technology
and miracle play
and the god trainer is now the one ashamed
for we call him names
we look down on him and say
dear god trainer
teach god another trick
whats the matter with you?
are you sick?
If only you knew says the god trainer
how things were before
how hard I've had to work with my god
to get him to do what he does
to keep us from crawling in circles on the floor
If only you had a clue how much work goes into
one of our acts
God and I work forever to please a population
that doesn't know the facts...
How would you feel
if your dog was better looking and more appreciated than you?
would you teach it a a few tricks like a curse
and then retire as a god trainer and say
here is what you're not to do?
This is the story of the god trainer
the one who worked hard
and did what he could to change the way things were
for centuries he lived and struggled and grieved
and what once was is no longer pure
I have to retire says the god trainer
but beware I've taught god only several tricks
and he will perform them for you again and again
and only i know the commands that make him do which
and with this the god trainer smiles
with tears streaming down his face
do you want to be a god trainer he asks?
do you want to take my place?
break the curse of how hard it is
all the work I've put into this
and do a good job and enjoy eating off my silver plate?
so here's your golden spoon he screams
and over there is your throne
but with your crown came nothing
and you'll find that out all alone
Whats the curse they'd ask the god trainer
and He'd look them in the eye and say
at the end of his final trick you'll go to a massive war
and it will be under rug swept
and be called the third again and again
until you get your facts and training straight
but i have the whistle and i have taught him how to beg
but beware
for if my god is mistreated
he will no longer sit and stay
and will run away
to come back with your fatal day
sure sure they said to the god trainer
and they walked away
and slowly the days passed and things seemed to change
the miracle play was in essence
and the colors did seem to sway
the wars were under control
and the pieces fit were at center stage until one day
and they all praised god
and they all loved god for his miracles
and they all worshiped and loved him
and forgot about the god trainer
and the god trainer came
What about me he says
disguised as something like the Antichrist
what about me
don't i get any recognition
get out of here they said
we don't need you or your permission
we have a good god they said
we have a great god they added
we don't need you in our way to do anything
so get out of here with your lies and false miracle play
and that's when it happened
Go get your silver spoon said the god trainer
i wish to eat off my silver plate
go fetch me my iron rod
its time to sweep under again
days passed
weeks and months
the dominoes fell and soon enough
a call to war
a call to duty
men up in arms
and men with swords on boats and ships
men in fields and dieing in the streets
the god trainer was serious
this was his god
and he had trained it
he wanted respect and he was going to demand it
God trainer they finally cried
after months and months and years of war went by
stop this nonsense
we believe you are to be the good guy
you were a good god trainer
you should be on our side
and the god trainer said
I'll give you a second chance
but my god knows the same tricks as me
and together we shall dance
so the dance of the souls began
and the wars faded away
Gabrielle and the angles
swept the disaster under the rug and the colors did sway
The god trainer tried to prove it but once again did they say
you are no miracle man god trainer go on go away
your a phony and your a fake
and the god trainer replied
with all the things he had done for their world
with all the blessings he had given the souls
he was really about to end the world
so he said calmly
I'll sweep you off your feet if you give me a broom
I'll turn the diamonds blue and you can walk on instead of under the moon
and they laughed and laughed at the god trainer
who had practiced his act in heaven or hell for centuries and centuries
through time machines and wormholes
the god trainer wanted what he wanted
and he and his god were going to get It they were unstoppable
How would you feel
if your dog was better looking and more talented than you?>
what would you do if your dog was more appreciated than you were
and there was nothing you could do?
what would you say if you taught your dog tricks
and no one believed you could?
would you stamp your feet
shake your head
or give them their own god and tell them good luck training it
have fun with your silver spoon
enjoy the moon falls
and sunsets
and you'll never be alone in an empty room
Under rug swept this story is
Again and again
the curse and omens in this disobedience
of my literature found in the seals of fate
speaks of the god trainer and a little boy who is frustrated
Little boy blue
what are we to do
I believe you
i see the colors sway
I wish i knew what the tricks were
but you have such an interesting way
of covering up your commands and codes
I'm not sure what word makes god do what
or how i would take over if i was to train
Dear god trainer
you did a wonderful job
and this message is for you
I've wept and cried
for something no one would believe
and i fear there is one day going to be nothing else we can do
dear god trainer i wonder if your just working on your act
the story is interactive
and i enjoy the romance
dear god trainer
i might not have everything that i want
but without you i wouldn't have everything that i have
thank you for being so patient and understanding
of human nature and behaviours
and when your god runs away next time
I got your back!!!!
