Blind Faith

in the world of the blind, the cyclops is king

Blind Faith

As he looked back at the masses 

He conducted his sermon 

Beautiful lies he told and they trusted

For the fear of death he bestowed 

He spoke kindly of divine love

Which does not come free

He was crucified for your sins

And ten percent of your earnings

He spoke with such certainty 

Of tales written in a book

Should be followed religiously

No time for questions, just take a knee

Through his words they’re blinded

And most simply refuse to see

They claim truthfulness

But live in contradictory

Walk away from blind faith

Open your eyes and look

There is no heavenly plan

We’re not words on a book

Nikki said it already, but I couldn't help it. That line is incredible. The whole thing really, I have an immense soft spot for anti-religious poetry. Keep it up!

"He was crucified for your sins
And ten percent of your earnings" Is it wrong that this made me laugh? >< Sorry..

[ksscampos]

I didn't mean it at you but the bluntness..

[ksscampos]

I understand.. it is one of the reason i can't take religions seriously..

as a young child I were black, a lot... Until.. I was 19 and my boyfriend whom I had met that way and had been with for many years-told me to start wearing colour.. Mum.. anyway... doesn't matter. Went to church one day with a friend (ma joked it'd burn, it didn't) anyhow one of the kids there turned to me and said, ".... You were black, you worship satan what are you doing here?" To which I simply stared and said, "And the Christian throws the first stone..." I don't believe in the devil, though.. Did't believe in god then either because my friend died.. Anyhow~ >.> It's Christians like that that give the lot a bad name imo.
