Hey There, how, how’s it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven’t been around much lately
But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss

But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.

So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered

Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded

Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.

I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop

I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creater, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created YOU

I once wrote a letter to God though, after we had a one night stand that left us both feeling awkward about eachother. I had to explain to him it wasn't a matter of love, only power. He cried, and I picked up my clothes and left.

its basically a peom/song from Gods point of view where he created humans with good intentions but we fucked everything up, so he is sorry for creating us.

the youtube link is actually of the song, so if u wanna listen to it instead of read it. its actually a very good song.

Ok I'm an atheist and don't believe in gods, but I do like the message of this poem (about mankind's destructiveness) and I thought it was extremely well written.

Major props to the writer.

The audio version however, is garbage. Too many syllables to pronounce. Not to mention the beat and voice are terrible quality wise.

it was written by scroobious pip (weird name..) to a remix of some radio head song, i was listening to it on someones ipod and i liked the beat, then i listened to the lyrics and was like, this is amazing, both in message and the way its presented. i thought it was better to post the lyrics as i can see why people would not like the song, the message is the same tho.

The basic message is that God created everything with good intentions, but humanity took it and wasted it, used it for the wrong purposes, and took it to extremes, essentially.

If people weren't so goddamned lazy and they actually clicked on the video link they'd see in the description "This isn't about whether you believe in God or not, that has nothing to do with it..." which is supposedly a quote from the group that made this.

and Your creeped out by me? pfft I wouldn't kill everyone. Thats just messed up man...

unless before I killed them I'd mutate everyone with extra limbs, crab hands, stuff like that. Then have the mutant wars, reptile humans vs mammal humans, bird humans vs insect humans. Total chaos, speaking of which i'd make myself like chaos from the Dragonlance series.
