Glitch

You got up one morning
Pushed the button and start brewing
To a bowl, you poured some cereal
Dang! A carton with no milk

In a corner you get to the store
You got no cash, the bank could’ve more
After punching your 8-digit pin
Your card was kicked out of an ATM machine

You got no milk, no cash, you’ve overdrawn
Back to your home, in a minute grabbed the phone
After being held for half an hour by the teller
All he can say is “So sorry, you need to speak with the manager.”

You’re getting anxious, frustrated and irritated
In the end she said you’re wiped out, and they’ll investigate
After you hanged, you figured out you don’t have a gas
You’re car won’t run, you have to dig for a year old bus pass

You’re in dismay; you’ve travelled a mile inside your house
When you realize you’re tired, you just slumped down on the couch
In a while, at the door your co-worker came by
Sent the bad news, the company was closed ‘til someone gets to buy

You can’t believe it, less than a day you’re out of luck
You’re getting confused; getting angry, you’re life just sucks
You question God, “Why me and why now?”
To turn around, to work this out, you asked “Him” how?

The voice in your head, speaks to you when you’re asleep
“Lift up your hands, cast the burden if your faith is as deep”
“Just do your best, and you must know, I’ll do the rest”
You woke up, to face the glitch, you know now you’ll stand the test
