And God gets impatient. 'We done yet?' he asks Grown pig-sick of listening, exhausted by tasks His damned omnipresence gives no getaway No lunch-break. No weekend. No brief holiday Eternity tells him that he's here to stay Thrown praise, prayers and sung to, with zero relief He's held like a hostage, bound by blind belief Implored without end to arrange the unplanned And change the unchanging with his mighty hand He simply can't do that. They don't understand All-seeing, all-knowing... okay, he's all that But he doesn't pull rabbits out of his hat Creation's an art, not a form of magic And raising the dead is no everyday trick It's hard enough healing a human who's sick While his still small voice seems like it goes unheard Their clamour - like tinnitus - rings loud and blurred That wailing and moaning worm under his skin There's no insulating himself from their din He curses their suffering and curses their sin There's no job as tough as this deity bizz The grinding and gnashing of teeth are all his In retrospect he finds it hard to believe That there was a time when he'd goals to achieve Til he went and blew it with Adam and Eve
