Is There Anybody Out There?

As hard as I try I can not see

I want to believe in a god above

Is death the end or will there be

A life ever after in eternal love

Searching my soul doesn't bring answers

Desire to believe doesn't bring faith

Innocence lost, evil spreading like cancers

Too much pain to follow a wraith

Hypocritical ideals controlling a nation

When I judge him on the laws he imposes

Man loving man results in damnation

Can god believe in those handed down by Moses 

Would any father leave his children to suffer

Perhaps it is better to believe he is dead

Would a humanist world be any tougher

Than one where our creator no longer provides daily bread

Whatever lies beyond this mortal coil

I like to think good will be rewarded

A beautiful creation, free will to spoil

A faith lost in politics by man's hand recorded
