God Was Lovely

It seems like such a dingy thing,

The world,

With danger lurking, crime rates

To the roof.

And recently though uncovered,

Unfurled,

We find we never really

Needed proof.

Though the law had tried, and tried

Again

To keep us safe from things like

Me and you,

No need to shut your eyes and count

To ten;

If only God were here to

Help us through.

I've heard about a man some ways

Away,

Who tried to make the world a

Better place.

Too bad he didn't last too long.

Some say

That God, he had an awful,

Lovely face.
