He said, he said…

There is no God, how can there be
With so much death and strife?
On who’s side would He be
To justify loss of life?

You deny a God based on man made decisions
But it’s politicians that maim and kill
Both sides will claim Him to support their own visions
But neither respects His will

Where was He in two world wars
Or the Ukraines “special operation”?
What side will He back the cause
When it comes to nuclear devastation?

Why would He take sides if all sides are equal
In His eyes we are created exactly the same
and if nuclear weapons means there’s no sequel
I guess he’ll just start all over again

Who supports the religious guise
The church I’m sure will do
In the name of God it justifies
The evils that we do

Religions, whatever God they proposed
Are institutions run by man
So to all man’s faults and failings exposed
Yet they do the best that they can

The Devil rules this world, he said
And the devil will get his due
And no matter why religions spread
They all serve the devil too.

If we accept a God, do we accept a devil?
Or is the devil just unconsciously willed?
In our pride and our greed we are prone to revel
And blame the devil for the evil instilled

So bow your head and don’t despair
He said, evil will not cease
There is a hell but we’re already there
Death is our release.

Hell and heaven are mutually diverse
Here and now are all we can see
If this is hell, well things could be worse
But this is no heaven to me
