Faith Is Fantasy

I’m homeless 

my wife’s dead,

I had faith God 

would keep her alive

and keep a roof 

over my head, 

he didn’t, 

my cousin got life 

in prison

faith will decide 

if he lives or dies 

Nope! he’s on death row,

But ..... HEY!!!

what do I know?

faith saved Jesus Christ .. right?

Nope! he got nailed to a cross,

his disciples needed 

a crowbar to pull 

the poor bastard off,

Faith is Fantasy

you don’t believe me?

start preying that

you’ll keep your dignity

having been thrown

in a nursing home 

and left to lay

in your own shit,

start preying a recession 

ain’t going to hit

chucking you out 

on the street, 

have faith you’ll 

still have money 

to eat when A.I

takes your job,

you can pray to God

as much as you want

it isn’t going to make 

a blind bit of difference

Faith?

good fucking riddance
