Religious Thoughts

In bed we lay

We don’t speak

I don’t pray

Please don’t freak

 

I won’t beg on my knees

I won’t justify my sins

I won’t say please

And I won’t sing hymns

 

I don’t understand this hell

But I don’t need god

I can excel

Without that fraud

 

I’m sweet as can be

But stand for my rights

I want to be free

Not bound by unseen sights

 

Not everyone will concur

And I don’t really care

But if you must infer

Of no god am I aware
