Send A Sign

I draw circles on my arms when I am bored
I lay on the grass and I smile to the Lord
Who may exist only in my head
A flimsy deception hung by a thread

I've been in a plane and looked to the sky
Searching for angels that might pass me by
But all I saw were clouds, empty and thick
It seems for my whole life I've been tricked

If God exists and is on the lookout for me
Where was He when I was on a killing spree?
Was He eating biscuits and drinking tea?
When I cried and I lied, where was He?

All I want is for Him to send me a sign
A supernatural presence from the divine
I want this mint tea to turn into red wine
I want all the stars to shine and align
All I want, dear Lord, is just one sign

Philosophy class taught me there is no God
The teachings and prayers are nothing but fraud
A delusion that only the peasants applaud
As any person could see that the bible is flawed

Yet I want to believe that He really is here
That my life has a purpose to which I adhere
And that as I get older year after year
My purpose will become utterly clear

When I lay in the sun and it kisses my cheek
And I hear the tree limbs rustle and creak
As the ducks and the tadpoles waddle and swim
I know this perfection could only be made by Him

Happiness is Pink Jellybeans

Happiness is jumping in a pool of pink jellybeans Feeling the cool candy on my skin Happiness is enjoying the pleasures of life Without worrying about confessing my sins Whoever said that we are gluttons For biting juicy pears on the beach Must never have felt the sand in their toes They must have placed their own soul out of reach And what about greed? It's not all that bad To bury a pile of chestnuts for the spring All animals do it, so why shouldn't we? If it's greedy to love yourself, let it be Lust is the one that makes pastors blush Yet it's one of the greatest joys in the body A kiss and a dance, laughter and romance Why did we ever label this happiness as naughty? Have you ever seen a cat sad when it naps? It is okay to sometimes be lazy The body needs rest as does the mind Or the world will set fire from the crazy If happiness is a sin, then let me smile in hell Looking up at the do-gooders above For to live is to err, to cry, and to sing Happiness is pink jell...

Love From Afar

Some people are in our lives Meant to be loved from a distance There's nothing wrong with that It's just that we're too different Or perhaps even too alike Two north poles repelling each other A couple of lone wolves mingling A dog barking at its own reflection The same blood runs through our veins But we are not meant to know each other We're just meant to co-exist  On the same planet, but ignorant of the other A colourful scaled fish roaming the seas While a spider sits in its web in a barn One wholly unaware of the other But needing the other in some way For earth to reach an equilibrium Not everything is meant to be held forever Some things are meant to be let go Like the old school pencils at the bottom of the drawer Or the Barbie dolls in the back of the closet They're loved, but loved at a distance Admired from afar

Humble

Remember the days we feared the gods? Neither do I, or maybe we just forgot I think we need a little superstition To quell our aching ambition We need to honour the moon and sun Just as the cavemen had done To find awe in the things all 'round Before we jumped in tech and drowned If we were to hunt our next meal We'd starve collectively, I feel Because we're even too cowardly to look In the beast's eyes whose lives we took It's simply sliced and put on display In a supermarket on the way Yes, we need to get back to our roots Take off our socks and high heel boots It's okay to feel a little scared It is how our ancestors fared Life shouldn't be riding on a cloud Idle hands make the devil proud So when you dwell into the woods Don't forget that the gods are not all good They teach us lessons as we preen Gluing our eyes to our phone screen If you're famous and if you're clever Doesn't mean you'll live forever We may be great, but there's...
