Family man
Pictures of kids
Happy as can be
But despises me
Can’t look at us when he talks
Has a real strut to his step
As he walks
Eyes popped out
Watching you breathe
He doesn’t like me
Because I don’t believe
In a holy man watching us all
Sorry I rather take care of my problems
Than ask a man in the clouds
To show me the path.
I know it’s rude to ask
But please sir
Why do you believe?

Awesome. The only problem I can see is "Sorry I rather" - I think it'd make more sense if it was "Sorry, I'd" or "Sorry I would." But it's just a suggestion :) Really great work!
