The God I Know Of

I am arrogant and conceited but my flaws are my own
And why try converting me to your God since the only God i have known
Is not truly perfect or not free of sin
And does go by the name of the God Within.

In trying to convert me why do you waste your time
Though i was slightly religious in my life's prime
But that is going back to near four decades ago
A phase in my life i did quickly outgrow.

The sinner i know i am in me you see
But in trying to convert me you pass judgement on me
Judge not and thou shalt not be judged did your God not say
Respect to my feelings do you not wish to pay?

In a World where crime is rampant everywhere
The God i know of is not living out there
Yet my sort of God can be compassionate and kind
One who does dwell in peace within the human mind.
