I Don't Believe in Jehovah

I don't believe in Jehovah,
Or in Buddha - or in Vishnu,
Or in life, or in death,
Or in extinction, as some do.

They are only empty dreams,
And it doesn't matter to me
Whether I live forever n this earth
Or vanish into eternity.

All such holy, pious secrets
- Mere words with a follow ring -
You try to understand in vain,
For thoughts won't change a thing.

And because I don't believe
In anything - Oh, give me some peace!
I shall do just as I like,
And you just as you please.

Don't try to change me with classics,
Or with the old and pedantic,
I don't care about any of them,
I remain what I was: a romantic.

Nu cred nici în Iehova
