the simple faith

The Simple Faith. At school, we had bible classes but our religious learning was based  on the New Testament The Old Testament was kept away from us as it was vile and long knives God was not so much in the picture  other he was Jesus's father  that he was a son of the virgin Mary was not what we were asked to think of consequently, we knew nothing other then the name of Jesus' disciples the cruel Romans and coward Judas I often thought of god, still do, and found not believing in anything was wrong as nothing in itself is a belief  My naïve faith was simple when I do It is a good thing my conscience feels clear it is good who lives within me who tells me right from wrong  his view has never brought me fame very little money I can live that but sometimes wish the lord had made me clever in business affairs When I die, my soul will join other souls as a mass, like a friendly cloud shield you a hot August day and will when the world is about to fall into an abyss will help to restore the truth
