God's Blind Eye

 Ten talons, ten claws and coherent eyes,
Ten fingers, ten toes, twenty reasons why.
when an animal fights for its right to life
And goes off of instinct for every bite,
Why is it spared the afterlife
In which its sins are brought to light?

Why is it that 'cause men can lie,
Rape, steal, cheat, fight, then when we die,
We are sent to hell with these reasons why?
But an animal strives off selfish pride,
And then is blessed with god's blind eye.

He turns his back on them,
No alibi
Too dumb,
Too numb,
Too uncivilized?
Why us,
why them,
why not ask why?
Are they so different from us,
Or Are we just blind?
And Why can't we get
god's blind eye?

Leave me from heaven
Keep me out of hell,
When I'm gone all I want
Is to sleep so well.
No worries or stress,
No painful affairs-
a blacked out presence
void of all cares.
No judgment, no sorrow,
No regrets nor fears,
No more suffering
and no more tears.
Let me cease to exist,
Let me see what its like.
I didn't ask for this life,
to lie is to be alive.
So why can't I get
God's blind eye?
