This isn't intended to be a representation of my own personal beliefs or those of any individual. But those that I perceive to be held by society as a whole (how pretentious am I?)

Earlier

God knows everything
God is never wrong
He can sing along to every single song
And he's seen every scene
Of every film
That's ever been made.

And when He gets paid
He's a demon on the quiz machine
Down the arcade.

He is all seeing and all knowing
So if you've got a problem about
Who you might be being
Or where you might be going?
Ask God
God'll put you straight
There is no ego
That He can't deflate
God is Great.

God knows everything
God is never wrong
And I could go on and on and on.
But I won't.

Later

God is old and grey.
It was never like this in His day
He blames the Government
Someone should make them pay.

What will happen to all the poor kiddies
Born into this World?
What happened to all the morals and the values
That He held?

God is grey and old
God is cold
God is poor,
It's not safe for Him
To go out anymore.

If only He were two Millennia younger.

Simon,

God is safe here in the hood, where he romps around quite nicely.

Cute poem.
