| God never really did like man anyway\nAt least not after they started walking around\nOn their hind leg (s)\nAnd talking on the telephone\nOf course poor God’s point of view wasn’t easy now (to) understand\nHe had invented man from dead things\nAt that time there were no grave yards to rob\nSo He had been forced to use dead worms, some sea weed\nThat had laid out on the beach for quite a while\nFor quite a while.\nAt that time man had four legs and no telephone\nA major mistake came when God decided that man should think\n(A trait that He’d long desired for Himself)\nWhat God no doubt intended was\nFor man to think about Him\nAnd that was important because\nGod just wanted to be\nJust another normal deity\nDeity Deity Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty\nAll that God wanted to be\nWas just a normal deity\nAll that God wanted to be\nWas just another normal deity\nAll that God wanted to be\nWas just a deity\nJust a normal deity\nAll that God wanted to be\nJust a normal deity\nAll that God wanted to be\nJust a normal deity\nAll went well for quite a while\nMan was a wonderful creature\nWith long rich engraved face\nFour fine legs ending in five mini-legs\nAnd a coat of satiney hair\nAnd large genitals\nHis thoughts were pure and\nFull of wonder\nThe wonder part was God’s favorite,\n(at least at first)\nBecause that’s the part that gave Him\nHis Identity Identity Identity Identity\nOh, it was so wonderful for God\nMan’s… Man’s questions turned to visions\nAnd visions gave God\nAll kinds of exciting things to do\nSomeday He would be a God of wrath\nReeking havoc upon undiscipline mankind\nAnd at other times He’d be a God of love and compassion\nOf course these were all things that man had invented\nSo God had a hard time getting the full grasp\nBut…\nOne of His favorite things\nWas man’s believing in Him, and then not believing in Him\nOne of His favorite things\nWas man’s believing in Him, and then not believing in Him\nBelieving in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Believing in Him, Not believing in Him\n…Like some hide and seek game\n…Over\n…And\n…Over\n…And\n…Over and Over\n…Believing in Him\n…Believing in Him\n…Believing in Him\n…Not believing in Him…\nNot believing in Him?\nI think He liked believing in Him much better…\nBut I’m not sure…\nsallysally@usa.net |
