Why?

By Liath

Why
are we here?
Have you ever
Asked yourself
that?
I have.
You ever
yelled
up into
the sky
for
answers?
I have.
I demand to know,
Want to be shown.
I don't give a fuck about what comes out of the church
Preaching its propaganda around to any person who'll listen
Just jam your ears, ignore this blasphemy
"If you want to know the truth, have faith," they say
I say that is just bullshit, Jesus please
This ain't the old days anymore, no spanish inquisition
to brand us all heretics, people like me
but now they have a new way of doing things
"mommy mommy, Brother David fucked me" Is
what we hear on the news, when are they going to realize?
Just give up; lose. We don't want modern miracles or virgin mothers
We want hovercars and virtual(reality) lovers
God is out, along with church, and worshippin' too,
I wish there was a hell, just for fools like you

    Hmmm, I think it is not God that has corrupted the church, but the evil doers that claim they are part of the church, and know whats best. That is what makes people turn away.

    Its the snakes slithering through the grass unnoticed that bites us all and poisons our minds with blasphemy. I understand and see what it is you are saying. I agree to some extent.

    But then you someone like me who was forced to go to church their whole life and starts realizing that things get better when silently asking for help. I dont go to church, but I havnt turned my back on God yet. Well done though. -Morb
