God's Will

GOD’S WILL

So many people claim to know 
What god wants 
He hides above and has no face
Yet his minions who are self- appointed
Proclaim his way is the only way 
To live a life  

The earth revolves around god as king
You must lose your individuality
If you wish not to die in sin
No one must live for now and be happy

We must constantly seek a future 
That exists when death has devoured us 
This without any proof that another life exists

The ability to control every aspect of one’s life 
Is the calling of gurus past and present 
The machismo and narrow sightedness
Of these so called enlightened messengers 
Has wrecked a world which should 
Celebrate its plurality of understanding of god
And its innate humanity 

God’s will is opaque for no man has 
The ability to comprehend nature fully 
so cannot create a god that can be made to fit 
A human concept of authority 

A god only can rule supreme
If the people wish to be led
Worship who you wish
Praise the one who
Loves you best
