The Lord's Prayer (Revised)
Now I lay me down to sleep.
There is no Lord, my soul will not keep.
Let me die before I wake,
I am a traitor, my soul forsaked.
Life is not fair, this I know.
Maybe to hell my soul will go.
I know not what the future holds,
but who will hold me when my body turns cold?
Onward, go forth thine own spirit.
For your perilous journey a candle has been lit.
I know now that before you know it's over.
My mind is cruel like the Demon of Dover.
Time to leave, this world I'll miss.
Sorry to say, blackness is Bliss.

If there is no Lord there may be no hell as well
for sure that that fate the living can't tell
it was once said that in the end we stand alone
so really there will be no need to keep the cell phone
maybe we should focus on the here and now
for one never knows what comes up in life's plow

But if I'm wrong sir, I will not be promised eternal salvation.
In the pits of fire and forever, I will receive damnation.
I have always focused, kind sir on the present.
Even though my actions are that of the hell-sent.
So I implore your "God" to punish me now.
Because I have found zero reason to live anyhow.

I a tempted to believe hell is a construct we humans make
to reinforce people good for some purpose to take
is "God" is exclusive only to me
then there are a billion other places I would rather be!
