Show Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Were You Taught,
\nas was I,
\nthat our Maker,
\naka God,
\nstarted a
\nFan Club,
\nmembership mandatory
\nfor You and Me,
\nin Order to
\nhave a
\nMailing Address
\nto Receive
\nall those
\nFan Letters
\nProclaiming
\nWorship and Obedience?<\/p>\n

Some of the Fan Clubs
\nInsist that
\nThe Penalties for
\nFailure to Be
\na Fan
\ninclude Death.<\/p>\n

What if
\nWe have It
\nBackwards?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not Sure
\nWhy –
\nYou\u2019ll have to
\nAsk the Ones
\nWho Started
\nthe Fan Clubs.<\/p>\n

What If
\nThe Maker
\nBuilt a Theater,
\nwith a Cosmos
\nFilled with
\nCharacters,
\nIncluding
\nYou.<\/p>\n

What If
\nThe Maker Is
\nin the Front Row,
\nGiving You and
\nThe Rest of Us
\na Standing Ovation?<\/p>\n

Our Biggest Fan.<\/p>\n

Perhaps It\u2019s Time
\nto Put On
\na Better Show.<\/p>\n
