I Don’t Believe
I don’t believe in humans –
A crazed bunch of chimps
Creating war and poverty
In a world of spivs and pimps.
I don’t believe in magic.
I don’t believe in God.
I don’t believe in reality.
Everything is odd!
I don’t think there’s a purpose
Any revelation to find.
But living in infinity
Really blows the mind.
I don’t believe in Angels,
Heaven or Paradise,
Even though believing
Would be very nice.
I do believe in nature
Evolution and mutation.
I don’t believe in religions
Or the theory of creation.
I think all us humans
Are as gullible as hell.
If we dumped superstition
We could do very well.
I do believe pollution
Is poisoning the Earth.
I believe in overpopulation –
Far too many births.
I don’t believe in politics
It’s all a crazy game.
I think they’re all lying
It’s such a dirty shame.
I don’t believe in fascism
Or dictatorial control.
I think Trump’s a conman
Digging us a big hole.
I don’t in communism –
Creating another elite.
I do think that Putin
Is heading for defeat.
I don’t believe in Tories
With their fabled trickle down –
A bunch of millionaires
Who own half the town.
I don’t believe in history
Or anything that’s gone.
They falsify the story.
As bad as QAnon.
I believe the crazy apes
Are busy creating war;
Chopping down the forests;
Stealing from the poor.
Paradoxically the apes
Make great music and art
Appreciate great beauty –
Matters of the heart.
They are capable of care
Love and compassion;
Of empathy and justice,
Feelings and passion.
I don’t believe in cool
Or the art of being hip.
Just another fashion
Complete with a quip.
I do believe the mad monkeys
Will turn everything to profit,
While always saying one thing
Then doing the opposite.
I do believe society
Is hanging by a thread.
A lack of belief
Could leave us all stone dead!

A mutation created a mad bunch of crazed chimpanzees.
We’re all obsessed with a greed for more.
We’ve created poems, Gods and war.
Power is more important than fairness.
All our religions and political systems have been perverted to create power systems, elites and dominance.
There’s more than enough to go around but the ones at the top are never satisfied.
They’ll wage war (using us) and destroy the planet just to have more than they can possibly need in a million lifetimes.
Human beings are insane! We value slave owners, robber barons and murderers over artists, poets and dancers.
