Dear God<br> <br> <br> Dear god,<br>Hope you got the letter,<br>And I pray you can make it better down here.<br>I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer,<br>But all the people that you made in your image,<br>See them starving on their feet,<br>’cause they don’t get enough to eat<br><br>From god,<br>I can’t believe in you.<br><br>Dear god,<br>Sorry to disturb you,<br>But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.<br>We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,<br>And all the people that you made in your image,<br>See them fighting in the street,<br>’cause they can’t make opinions meet,<br>About god,<br>I can’t believe in you.<br><br>Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? <br>Did you make mankind after we made you? <br>And the devil too!<br><br>Dear god,<br>Don’t know if you noticed,<br>But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.<br>Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,<br>And all the people that you made in your image,<br>Still believing that junk is true.<br>Well I know it ain’t and so do you,<br>Dear god,<br>I can’t believe in,<br>I don’t believe in,<br><br>I won’t believe in heaven and hell.<br>No saints, no sinners,<br>No devil as well.<br>No pearly gates, no thorny crown.<br>You’re always letting us humans down.<br>The wars you bring, the babes you drown.<br>Those lost at sea and never found,<br>And it’s the same the whole world ’round.<br>The hurt I see helps to compound,<br>That the father, son and holy ghost,<br>Is just somebody’s unholy hoax,<br>And if you’re up there you’ll perceive,<br>That my heart’s here upon my sleeve.<br>If there’s one thing I don’t believe in...<br><br>It’s you,<br>Dear god. <br><br><br>(By a partridge)<br> <p></p><i></i>
