One Person's Desire

They say if you believe in God, you'll be alright.
The church says read a bible,
for it will help in your future survival.
But do they really know what will happen when you die?
Heaven, Hell, clouds, fire.
Is it really a desire?
Is it real, or is it just a book.
Where I come from I've been told,
to believe what you want to believe.
How can you believe,
if your life isn't what He,
would want it to be.
