Another irritable rant, yes. Oh and I really don't mean to offend anyone, please understand. There my subjective views and I'm not enforcing them on you. Besides it's just a rant so please don't get butthurt over it.

The tenth time my mother dragged me to the temple,
I'd given up trying to tell my dearest mother that
Temples and poojas just really weren't my scene
But she just gasps like I've made the biggest sin
And just drags my unholy hide back to the holy shrine
Now that those daily guilt trips have stopped working
She tries to remind me of how much god had done
For her in her difficult times; he was her salvation
No offence dear Ma, we're just different people
Stop expecting me to tag along every time you go there
Oh it doesn't end there.
My grandma and my mother have joined forces
It takes their entire willpower to get me to pray
Why even do it if it's done so grudgingly?
But they don't get it; as long as I'm standing in front
With my hands clasped in prayer under my head
Little do they do about the utter shit I mutter while 'praying'
Don't get me wrong, I believe in god...well mostly
I just have very little to say and it don't affect me that much
At least not so much to suddenly view the world
In a new light and restore my ruined faith in humanity
But alas, they don't get it.
My problem ain't with you god; its with temples
They ain't no place to drag a bored and restless child
All they do make me more sleepy and I feel like a right prat
And no matter how hard I try, I can't conjure prayers
So I'm left standing staring at walls like a dork
So yeah, keep me away because it ain't my scene
Having me in there is an insult to the people in there
I wish my mum would stop forcing this down my throat
My rant is now coming to an end; I must conclude with
If I were god, I wouldn't want to be trapped within four walls
