Deity Dudes
Deity Dudes
Do you believe some bearded deity
Looks after you with Love, and pity?
Do you believe this to be true?
Yet only while you love him too?
Isn't it odd – all the same,
you believe in god from where you came
And authority doth lie with old men that,
wear long gowns and amusing hats
Seems it began in them old bronze age days
Someone to blame for human pain
I think it might be even earlier still
when man first farmed and possibly tilled?
Plenty of time to watch cloud and star...
… following the reasoning thus far...?
Imagine a time to think and fret
about such things as life and death
If gods controlled man or hereafter
and everything else including weather
And as we played this philosophical game
other people did precisely the same
Resulting in damned religious wars
mine is real... sadly brother... not yours
