Title: I'm told God don't live here no more
Post by: Dogmax on February 19, 2019, 10:43:54 PM
Yeah I think maybe this one done  8) I'll read later


I'm told God don't live here no more
He left a long time ago
I'm told he had enough he said of us
Where he is now no one knows
For sure

I'm asking has he still got his army of angels
Is he now ruling some other world of inocent
Are they still too fighting the same old wars
Has he not learn anything from us
At all

Buy hey

Here they still butcher and kill in his name
Here they still fight the same old same old bad ass game
Kneel in the house of God hallelujah they still cry
Thousands of years the same old reason
Still to kill still to die

But now

I'm told God is returning
I'm thinking maybe it's best he/she stayed away
We got a legalise system here now
Crimes against humanity is where dictators
Stand trial, I know it don't rhyme but what the hell

Yeah the same old same old

I'm told God don't live here no more
He left a long time ago
I'm told he had enough he said of us
Where he is now no one knows
For sure

So I'm been told

Songs of this nature are always interesting.  So much to explore and write about.  It will be interesting to discover where you steer this musically.  This  world needs more poets/dreamers, yet they rarely have the impact that their vision would like.

A Thought provoking and welcome read.

there was no self indulgence there my dear friend but just a misspelling I meant on-loan God lovers got love galore pointing out that those transient believers emit a lot of love on Earth if a caused any offence I feel really contrite about it there was no disrespect intended whatsoever so let's rock!

Thanks I like to read that, I have old stuff like this that I wrote years back myself I guess when it comes to religion nothing much has changed, maybe I'm wrong.

At the time of post my friend self indulgence was all mine, sometimes it helps but then tomorrow comes new thoughts new words and sometimes new ways, thanks  8)
