I want to live in a world without God
Without  the dream of Heaven
Or simple fear of Hell,
Without the love of one
Who would be so willing
To destroy under the pretense
Of a higher meaning,
Without commandments
Oppresively stopping me
From even simply lying
Even if its to myself,
To my own heart and mind
Or loving someone completely
Since he'll rip them away from me
To appease his own jealousy
Without the punishment of death
A testament to the cruelty
Of  this so called Saviour
Who would allow us to live
To fight  our battles
In a bitter world of his own design
While leaving us with
The complete certainity
That the war has already been lost .
Without the cruelty of pain
That builds with the progression of life
Mounts after every year
Attacks after every second.
I instead want to live in a world
Molded within my own selfishness
One without  children sitting on the streets
With arms so thin
They aren't be able pick up
The bread you try to hand to them.
Without doctors waiting patiently outside
For the tears in your eyes to stop
While you grip lifeless hands.
Without  having to pop a pill every hour
Just so you can take the pain away
Even if its only momentary
Even if  you know the pain is still there
Waiting behind the murky haze.
Without pretentious pastors and priests
Telling you  "Your an abmoniation"
That you've lost your chance at Heaven
Becuase you've chosen to love.

I want to live in a world without God
Without fear
Without pain,
And in this world though i  may lose my faith
Lose my hope
Lose my soul,
I'm sure I'd find my happiness
And that's enough.
OMG i can feel the religious debate and attack comments before i even submit this. I wanted to add a cover but i couldn't find anything that remotely fit this theme. This was partially inspired but yet another Regina Spektor song. I hope people are still willing to favorite this (if they believe its good) even if you don't necessarily agree with what i wrote. (ALSO I don't believe in any religion and don't feel like being converted). Hope everyone enjoys.
