I think the Rapture is bunk.
But
imagine an aftermath
of:
Insurance companies getting religion
and declaring the Rapture
an Act of God
as they stiff their policy-holders.
Consider a sight of
several hundred million children
gone off to the Kingdom.
Elementary school teachers
to teach the ones
that were left behind.
The one per-centers
texting: WTF
Where did the help go?
The pastor who
didn't get caught up in the clouds
wondering if
he would have a flock to tend?
Bullies will miss their patsies.
Patrons will remember their bartenders.
High school kids will revere the cheerleader.
And gossips will ask,
"Why her? /Why him?"
And all the while,
me and you
will go through
the departed's
fridges and garages
prepping ourselves for
the Final Days.
