I worship the greatest god,
Or so they say
And I’ve been told
He’s a strong hold
On all that’s happening
Around us
And I’ve been taught
He loves me a lot
And that he’s perfect
And deserves respect
Bullshit
And the Bible speaks of,
Or so I’ve heard,
Of many miracles
And things absurd
This god, they talk of
Gives blind men eyes
He hears our cries
And loves us
Despite the sin
He drives out demons
And there when summoned
There’s nothing he can’t do
Or so I’ve learned from other’s say
Not my own
You ask me why
I stay so skeptical?
No; downright unbelieving?
I’ll explain
It’s been too long
I’ve laid here humble
And ‘graced with god’s humility’
My hands unparted
My lips unclosed
Utterings akin to prayer
One thing in mind
One for myself
A thousand for another
I’ve spent so long
-Years in fact-
-Or maybe even life-
Just pleading my religion
To end all of this strife
For I could never ‘do his will’
I couldn’t find a smile
And so I asked for happiness
To last just for a while
So here I am so beautiful
In an evening gown
But on my perfect pretty face
Your god has placed a frown
