Inspired By Kelli White - Pie In the Sky
Six times I've looked death in the eye
Six times it has passed me by.
Yet friends much younger than I
Face it once and don't survive.
I now struggle with my faith.
Especially now, innocents murdered,
For what? religion? Why?
God protects the weak, the innocent.
What! All pie in the sky.
Saved from the sea three times,
Looked down barrel of many a gun,
And once a tank track crowbar whistled past my ear.
I prayed to God, I have asked why am I still here.
No answer yet and I've prayed for years.
All I do now is cry the proverbial river.
If God does not deliver then there is one who will,
Mother nature, and without malice.
