God said that a church was needed in heaven,
space for the angels, when it was finally open,
splendid layers of gold would be readily available,
a wing and a prayer was always very suitable.

Maybe a wing for those aspiring to such heights,
who believed they would exist beyond starry nights;
I knew what was needed - all part of my brief,
to only cater for those beings with honest belief.

There was a list of entitlements, seats for the rich,
who would sit in such splendour, you wondered which
had earned the right after living their earthly life,
when they had been resposible for so much strife.

It was finished and stood in heavenly places magiccal,
something was wrong because none of us were there at all.
