God spoke English you know!





God spoke English you know
for how else would he speak to his flock?
God spoke English you know
but scientists still can't work out 
whether he was Geordie or  
Cockney Sparrow
God spoke English you know
cos a sign from heaven told me so.
It was a sign written all in Welsh.
I thought he's talking in tongues 
and he wants me to work out 
what we must do as humans
God spoke English you know
for how else could he go with the flow
and pretend that he was a bit of a bro
although his brother Allah 
did not speak English you know
Allah had turned his back on all that monoglot crap
so you can imagine at the family re-union
things were not as smooth as they should have been
Humanists & Atheists were all at the windows
pointing their fingers and other such gestures
God and Allah were both in fine dress
and a little voice piped up
"have a game of chess,
that'll decide it once and for all"
so under a glittering disco ball
God and Allah went at it 
There was no sound, no language
It was a brutal affair and at one point
God called for a bandage  
All the followers dressed as sheep
were pawns in this game
and God and Allah
refused to take the blame.
Sweat poured as rain from each others brow
but neither one would take a bow
Checkmate
Stalemate
And they all carried on as before!
