Here Nor There, My God Poem by Byok Pettersson

Amen
Why do yo pray to me? (Don't lie)
Which way do yo look up in da sky? (So high)
What do yo expect to hear? What do yo want to hear?
While others don't believe, why do they still want to see me?

(I'm praying)
Are you still thereabouts, here nor there, my God?
Will ya come on back down someday, my Jesus?
Is it really the whole flaming truth?
Nothing but da truth, swear to sum good God
Shout out also, to da virgin, the one and only, Mamma Mary
Does anyone actually hear me, praying out loud, daily
I just wish to rid, once and for all, my topsy-turvy life
Otherwise, this boy is in a whole lotta strife
Without any real, you know, I mean meaning
My eyes, they seem, to have stopped a gleamin'
Give me sum sorta sign or write me a old fashioned message
Why, you can even give me a little bit of a shove
I just want to believe, in the holy trinity or even you three
Before I give up and eventually run out of love

Stare up to space, kneel in church no
Here nor there, look up to pray no no
Human race, keep up the search no
Here nor there, my God, I need to please me

I need, to please thee
I need, I need, I need...to please thee
I need, I need, I need...

Amen

(Hello)
My life has been through hell, with so many bad turns
So many ups and downs, I yell, but it's still not goin' away
I learn, then leave, I'm missing her loving, ouch, it burns
Lonely days, thinking out loud, weeping nights, wherever I lay
Arising so late, smashed avocado, table in corner, just for one
It's better by myself, three's a crowd, so I go solo, one on one

(Careful)
I think I just felt a little shove, with love, from way up above
Tap on my shoulder, ever so slight, what's it mean? Dream
Were my prays answered, do I now believe, I kind of, Scream
Is it blind faith, scared of da truth or fake like Vanilla Ice cream

Da holy ghost, da three from above, show me da sign post
So I can live and feel, get back on da track, first and foremost

Stare up to space, kneel in church no
Here nor there, look up to pray no no
Human race, keep up the search no
Here nor there, my God, I need to please me

I need, to please thee
I need, I need, I need...to please thee
I need, I need, I need...

Amen
