Song of Life

If the god I don't believe in,
really, truly made it all.
Why did he include death and illness,
yes why do these horrors fall,
on little children without any sin,
and many others who've done no wrong?
Surely if there was any thought behind creation,
it would have lead to lyrics to a much happier song!
