Apocolapalooza

When it's too wet to walk, I set myself a task. Reading about Marion Cotillard today, I discovered she works with Greenpeace, an organization founded in Vancouver. Hence I this conservation ditty with a sense of  humour. I imagined Jesus coming back to earth (his "second coming tour") and being introduced by a chorus of back-up singers who trained in Motown.

We’re angels, from heaven

So happy to be here

Appearing all across the land

Helping man to understand

Offering a helping hand

Because the end is near…

We’re angels, of mercy        

Here to change your fate

Even though you’ve ruined earth

Where once was plenty, now there’s dearth

But God has hope with every birth

That it is not too late….

God is love, God is pure

He’ll ensure that you endure

He is back, and with a cure  

On His Second Coming Tour.

We’re angels, from paradise

We’re here to spread the word

We’ve seen your sins; we know our duty

Due to you, the future's moot-y

Stupid you ignored Suzuki

now it’s He who must be heard…

God is love, God is pure

He’ll ensure that you endure

He’s coming back, and with a cure 

On His Second Coming Tour.

We’re here from Nirvana

We speak in every tongue

He’s come again, and you know why

— And you know God would never lie —

If you don’t change, you’re gunna die

Drowning in your dung.

God is love, God is pure

And even though you’re immature

And filled the earth with your manure

Here he is and with a cure.   

We’re angels, from heaven

We’re really glad you’re here

Appearing all across the land

Helping man to understand

Offering a helping hand
Because your end is near…
