Temptation

What’s wrong with me!? Hey!? What’s so wrong with me!?
Don’t give me that! You know and I know that He has always had a problem with me! Always! So what is it, hey? What!? Just what on this water-sodden earth is His problem? I mean, it’s not as if I’ve intentionally upset Him is it? It’s not as if I’ve stood out as being the troublemaker… huh? So why? Why do this to me? Why single me out like this? I’ll tell you why – because He’s prejudiced! There, I’ve said it! Prejudiced! So what d’ya think to that then, hey?

Why do we let Him give out all the rules, set all the demands and what have you! Act as judge and jury over us all! It’s not fair you know, it’s not. If this were a Republic, they’d be up in arms…
