Lies

Mix and match religion.

        

Lies,

Fill the world with lies

In my favourite disguise, they hypnotise,

I love those lies.

 

L i e s

Blinding so many eyes

Truth compromised,

We criticize

and Feed 'em lies.

 

And if it's love they want

We'll just give them lust

And if they need a friend

Then we'll abuse their trust

Instead of dreams of hope

We turn their hopes to dust

Instead of bread of life

Give them a stale crust.

 

Pride

Religous pride

Let righteousness slide,

Let traditions decide

What's wrong and right.

 

Pride

The truth denied,

Rituals applied,

In their vestments they hide,

What's really inside?

 

Hide the word of God

Behind the rules of men

You don't need integrity

When you pretend

No commitment necessary

Just attend

At Christmas and Easter

An occasion'l weekend

 

Philosophy

You've got to agree

Easier to believe,

a fantasy

Than to search for the key.

 

Philosophy

If it was up to me,

Then no one would see,

that nobody is free

'till their master is He.

 

And in this world we teach you

To match and mix

You build your house of straw

And not with bricks

But if your new belief

It contradicts

Itself, don't worry

If the facts don't fit

 

Just take some buddism

but just a touch

A little christianity

But not to much

Cosmic, new age, magic,

Meditation and such

Reincarnation

What's your latest crutch

 

 

 

 

Reviews

[Sheila Marie Carr]

"Fill the world with lies" great line and so true, everything you said in this poem is true, very great job.

[Literature Writer]

I really love this poem. You made it rhyme in just the right places. It sounds like a dark chant or a song. I do agree with WriterMe though, the ending feels a bit 'sudden' and/or like you could and a couple more lines. Other than that, I think the poem is brilliant. Great job!

[WriterMe]

That was pretty intense. To me it sounded like good lyrics to a dark song. The ending of it seemed a little abrupt though. You might want to add a few more lines just to end it in a better way. Otherwise it was great =]
