It’s Like This
It’s me, one of your sinful slaves, my God…
Of prayers I know just « He is God the One, »
Only saying thank you Lord’s been lasting.
In Ramadan I never keep to fasting,
But of passions unsuffered I know none.
It’s me, one of your sinful slaves, my God!…
On earth your slaves like me are many God!..
If you don’t know this let me tell you so.
They forgot you, needing love and bread,
The meal of yesterday gone from their heads.
What have we eaten that it shouldn’t go?
On earth your slaves like me are many God!…
Don’t take offense at what I write, my God!…
The angels will never say these things to you
The world you created’s not the same
Since humankind has meddled in the game.
And if that doesn’t please you what’s to do?
Don’t take offense at what I write, my God!…
Beg pardon, let me ask you something, God!..
The mosques are full of girls five times a day,
Innocent girls they are, white veils, white skin…
Just one look at them can do me in,
Is there not one who steals your heart away?
Beg pardon, let me ask you something, God…
So this is how the people are, my God!…
Richer or poorer as the years go by…
You are yet our endless mystery
And though you know us, you’re still alterity
So long as we are troubled, weep and cry.
So this is how the people are, my God!…
