Poem
Dear Lord I think Heaven is a price I can't afford If such a place did exist I would've hesitated before I wrote this Since a kid I was never really into religion So many to choose from how do I make a final decision I rely on my own intuition To make sense of this world with near perfect precision I was taught to never believe without proof So I never took time to go to church and confess sins in the booth Speaking of church I never attend It's more devils than angels in there I can't pretend I'm a certified believer My mom was caged by drug demons I know it was you that freed her Please dont be mad it's just my generosity Multiplied by my curiosity I admit when you let Tashawn die I looked to the sky with animosity We celebrate Jesus' B-day on Dec 25th Mine on the 21st The world will end on 12-21-2012 Now I feel the worst Well that's what the Mayan civilization said On my 22nd b-day the Earth shall be dead Whether black or white I can still worship you right You will bless my curses with all your might I can't help but feel some things about religion isn't true Is it true what they say about Heaven and Hell How a casket is for "Rebirth" A coccoon Or shell I think when we die Heaven is having dreams So why every night in my sleep I scream Is hell having nightmares Who does the Devil think he scares Is it true when a person dies A person is born You bring babies to this world But leave families torn Who did you bring here to replace Tashawn My Aunt Beverly You think so cleverly What about Allison's baby Aaliyah Taneka's grandfather Richard Jr should've been dead Yes my father When he had that stroke He should not have lived to see 50 Why did you choke How did this Earth get made Was the 7 day Creation a must Or luckily the planet formed from cosmos and stardust If you're the God of this planet what about Mars, Pluto, Saturn My head is lighting up like a Jack-o-Lantern In one dream I had I died on a crucifix Die for everybody's sins The idea is ludicrous What's the relevations Of Revelations My curiosity is typical I wish I was mythical Silly me Like Moses I wish I could split the Red Sea I wish we could talk That's why I don't pray You may be busy with someone else's prayers anyway Take a minute to talk to me and I shall kiss your gown's hem We can sit in the middle of Bethlehem Curiosity is a price everyone can afford Sincerly Richard J C Keen To You Lord
