GOD AND I

DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE

 

God and I Don't see eye to eye

on things ecumenical, spiritual or deprived

what is allowed in the name of man

turns my stomach, my heart and nothing I thought stands

 

As the rains rained down on Caroline

and man made roads and bridges failed

I saw the tears of God a sign

as nature reclaimed and God wailed

 

what I was led to believe was right

Uniting Faith into a whole

In heaven shines very bright

But on earth is not part of the human soul

 

 

Power Wealth and conquering lands

Is what's behind man's demands

hiding behind prayers and devotions

Only going through the motions

 

What i believed was my job in life

to struggle against hatred and man made strife

was something I made up within my mind

For man's inhumanity to man is too deep in mankind

 

You can't rent Peace with bombs and bluster

or buy peace piece by piece at a time

Religious robes confuse and fluster

As clergy try ivory tower climbs 

 

You can;t prostitute peace with bunker bombs 

You can't dictate holy words in the Psalms

or interpret Surahs in the Muslim Koran

to emanate hatred and deliver calm

 

 

So I retreat to more mundane pursuits 

and overlook the  fables, parables and lies

While Isis executes, crucifies and loots

In the name of God while God Cries 

Waiting for another sign
