He does not understand religious people
And from their god he feels so far away.
He says if their god’s so great then how come I am so poor
Or for some past life sins am I condemned to pay
For to make up the price of a pack of cigs a few bucks I must borrow
For me it’s always been from day to day.
If their god’s so great how come my wish has not been granted?
That like superman without wings I could fly
And people on the street would stand and stare up
And shout who is that fellow in the sky? .
If their god’s so great how come I feel so powerless
And beaten by life like a deflated ball?
I am not many years beyond my prime day
Yet I’m not the man I used to be at all.
If their god’s so great how come they are so ordinary
In six billion people there’s not even one
Who like a bird can fly without a machine
Or faster than the sprinting cheetah run? .
The poet Liam Ladds is only in his thirties
Yet he feels he has known a better day
And he doesn’t like the god fearing type of people
And about their god doesn’t have kind things to say.
