Supreme being?

What kind of world do we live in
Where some nutter takes a gun.
Walks into a primary school
Kills someone's daughter, someone's son

Where stars of yesteryear believed
They were bigger than the law
So took what and whoever they pleased
Behaviour to abhor

The pro gun lobby in the states
Believes in everyone's right
To defend themselves by taking arms
But when will they see the light

The media in our country makes
The famous seem all too perfect.
So the claims of a child that they've been abused
Are ignored and they're lives are wrecked

It's not until the nutter who
Bought weaponry in a wallmart
Decides to turn it on the innocent
That the world questions the laws part

And it's not until the peadophile
Who was such a high profile name
Is buried 6 feet under ground
That his victims can complain

Now maybe I'm being naive
Or over simplifying
But I for one fear for my kids
This world is terrifying

In America everyone has guns
And children who were playing
Were a really easy target for
What amounted to a slaying

In the UK kids were routinely abused
Right under the noses of a "responsible press"
But when those brave enough to speak up did
They were silenced to contain the mess

I asked was I being naive
To think society should be
A place where kids need not fear guns
And perverts roaming free

I can't believe a god above
Would allow these awful acts
And as such can't believe in god
Faced with these painful facts

There are those out there who would point
To free will of man, not god.
Well if there is a god above
They're one very messed up sod

I'd rather not stand up and offer
Worship whilst I'm seeing
This nonsense existing here on earth
There can be no supreme being.

I may end up regretting this
And see an eternity in hell
But for now ill live my life my way
Protect my kids and do it well.
