Lord I know your there
Listening to this prayer

As I contemplate this state
I know I don’t create

Bowing and giving my alms
Singing and shouting the songs

Skipping and dancing to church
We sit we stand we chirp

Meeting nice people each day
Oh what a game we play

You take your mask wherever you go
How do I know I’m not at the theater or a show?

What a great performance as you gawk the stage
And I sit here, trapped in a cage

What do you think waits your immortal soul?
If this is why you believe, I dub you “the dumb troll”

What a fool to believe in such a wrong way
You selfish hedonist, you’ll get yours one day

Or maybe not, because you’ll never die
Maybe that’s what you’ll get, you wise guy

I don’t see why one would want to live forever
Why is this so much better?

You call that state heaven, well I call it hell
And no I’m not insane, I’m quite well

I think death is good and not so bad
Its healthy, and I’m not going to be sad
When my body is in the ground
And my soul in the air
Gee that’s another question altogether, do we even have souls

But for now enjoy your eternity with bliss
While I take a ****

Who would ever want to live forever?
Immortality is a dream disguised as a nightmare, think about it…its forever…
Stupid thoughts, trying to make couplets out of them...
