LEAP OF FAITH

Even atheists pray,
Well, at least they utter
Gods name,
Jesus gets a mention
Although it's usually
Profane.
Your God
My God,
They're all about the same,
Everlasting life
And spiritual peace
Is the proud and boastful claim.
But,
In order to enter heaven
You actually have to die,
And nobody has come back to life
To tell us
It's all a lie.
I suppose
I'm a bit of a sceptic
My faith being full of doubt,
Innocent children die needlessly
And terrorists are free to kill
What on earth is that all about?
Please God
Give us a leap of faith
Send a sign to show you're there,
Forget the plague of locusts
And the biblical floods
Send a miracle cure to show you really care.
