QUESTIONING

if i do not understand a god,
how can i beleive in one?

hello? hello?
is there anybody there
anyone to clear the darkness or to answer my prayer?

how can you tell me
faith and death go hand in hand,
the loss of a soul,
the loss of a friend.

How do you look up
at the sky and see
some miraculous happiness,
a saviour for you and me?

How does your great god
reach down to change the world?
or sit up high in a cruel throne
and watch violent wars unfurled.

i followed a path,
it lead to no religion.
who are you to doubt me?
who are you to question?

believe if you like this fairytale,
to me it makes no sense,
ill carry on, ill do my best,
il build my own fence.
