Just Stating the Obvious

There’s God and there’s the devil Man’s caught in the middle Who’s good and who’s evil, There’s Heaven and there’s hell More beautiful is the earth Can anyone otherwise tell, There’s sin and there’s confession Then there’s the rule of law To constraint further transgression, There’s Koran and there’s Bible Forget William Shakespeare Man plays the role of the disciple, There’s Politics and there’s Religion Trapped like a rabbit Man is the lost homing pigeon, There’s lyric and there’s melody You have Opera and rap It’s time to end this parody, You have pouring rainfall There are lakes and oceans Bubbling brooks and waterfall, There are grass, shrub and tree Man’s eternal soul Forever craving to be free. ~05/07/21 ~Contest: Just Stating the Obvious ~Sponsor: Brother Jacob
