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.
