Inappropriate Performance
I'd thought about them all day
the sea of Christian smiles
staring up at the stage
waiting to be entertained
but all left studying the floor when I told the truth
Limp handshakes and polite applause
all my fault
I knew they'd be easily offended
and it would have been easy
to give them what they wanted
the tried and tested from the times before
a sprinkling of grit in the lines
to guarantee a tear
with the pauses for laughter
measured and rehearsed
everything timed to a fine art.
But I won't be going back
All my fault
for reading the truth in a church
breaking the news
that God is dead already
and the Devil's on his way
soon
No-one thanks
a harbinger of doom

Abbra my spirits I hear tried to tell me such and so did Mr. Osbourne questioned but I have heard our Father and Luce is a very different being altogether than the men...they told me once that our Father died and I hadn't heard from him in awhile so I cried in despair they said they only recreated his voice for me...then later I heard him again he said he had royal guards watching over me keeping contained on Earth he said he was visiting His other wives who don't necessarily know about each be they male of female or other he is a very social mad but it is lonely at the top and he is both kindly and diabolical and he gets really pissed off when I refuse to acknowledge I know he has a dark side and is sometimes cruel to me for teaching purposes he says and I focus is on his beautiful genius of a world... God is not dead he simply must have unplugged from him so you could think logically on your own for a bit....
