Poetry: Heaven Help Us

God save the queen,
and don't forget to bless our country.
Don't worry about the little people,
save the royals and the land.
God bless us,
but only if you get the time.
Forgive us our daily trespasses,
but trespassers will be shot.
God defend our nation,
but not the people in it.
Some are deserving and some are not,
best not to take the chance.

Heaven help us,
though Hell has us on lay-away.
Give us this day our daily bread,
but prisoners should get water too.
Heaven forgive us,
we know not what we do.
Okay we do know what we do,
but can you give us a free pass this time?
Heaven open your gates,
you forgot to give me the gate code.
Oversights happen sometimes,
but you also seem to have sent us a one way ticket to Hell.

God in Heaven,
give us another shot.
Lucifer in Hell,
no hard feelings.
Forgive and forget,
that's our motto on Earth.
Even though you're eternal beings,
you can learn something from us mortals.
Flattery and bargaining sometimes work,
but we can tell you're not swayed.
We have fallen into bribery and as you can see,
we are keeping your guest books filled...

one bullet at a time.
