What if God...

What if God’s omniscient? Let’s say it’s really true...

Then He would know the outcome of all the things you think and do

Events would be predestine, no prayer would intercede

No sacrifice or holy wars, your souls could not be freed

What if God is not omniscient? Let’s say it isn’t so

He put us on this Planet Earth, free will to live and grow

Your rituals and ceremonies, your reverent intercessions

Lifelong debt and sacrifice to Him make big impressions

So God is judge and juror taking some and leaving others

He reaps the lives of innocence – stab hearts of mourning mothers

And tell me why or how it is that babies they should starve?

Did they do something warranting the fate He sought to carve?

While evil lurks through blood stained streets casting shadows in their mist

Those hearts they beat, their lives complete, yet they live long and rich

So God wants us believing yet gives no evidence

And question Him we shall not once – whose sinful arrogance?

What hinders logic in a man confronted with a deathblow?

It’s something Freud coined long ago, it’s what he termed an Ego

Our Ego views us valuable, can’t see ourselves as lifeless

Not simply just an animal, our Ego offers purpose

We tell ourselves these crazy tales, start a practice, write a creed

A lie to comfort use from truth, but lies deceive indeed

The Bible is a work of man... you say “well just believe”

I don’t believe in fairytales or magic, can’t you read?

Or charlatans that tell you that your loved one has a message

Magicians just live off your grief and leave emotional wreckage

Yes it IS hard to know this life is all you get to live

So live it right it’s all you have, no deity forgives

I’d rather know I taught my kids to be good hearted thinkers

Then be some puppet in a show, no choice, eternal actors

To live in truth is freeing.... no fear of burning hell

So read the book and use your mind and bid your God farewell
