Poem Title:
Poem
Are you happy there in heaven Or is it all just a fantasy Do you enjoy the angels singing While forgetting about me As you walk around in your flowing robes Is your mind in a state of bliss Or do you look down on the living And cry out for those you miss With your heart so filled with joy Has your brain been turned to mush Are you free from controlling people And all the buttons that they push I'm not so sure I want to be A mindless singing ghost Who goes on for endless days Chanting praises to the host I'd hope instead to have a task Visiting planets near and far Exploring every galaxy And chasing every star Cause I'm not one for singing Or bowing on my knee I'd hope when this life ends My spirit would be free But I'm told to blindly follow Ask no questions and simply trust Ignore the smoke and mirrors As obedience is a must It's said that I'm not smart enough To know how great it will be But the preacher better bring... Stronger logic than that When selling that crap to me If you take away my memories While washing away my pain Remove my desires and fantasies , And suppress my hopes for gain There'll be nothing left of who I was The parts that made me me With this mind of many questions And the joys of my humanity There was a time when I had great faith As many of you now do I preached the word and prayed deep prayers And believed it all was true But I see now it's just a lie To fool the people and give them hope Forget the misery of their daily life And somehow help them cope With the crappy lives they now accept The fact they've been controlled Held in place and taught to serve To do as they've been told When you die you die that'll be the end They'll dig a hole and toss you in Don't waste your time trying to pretend There is no hell there is no sin
