spirituality
all this stuff it happened, so very long ago
but it's like we all know it, like we saw the same damned show
several times before, and in a manner we all know
about that bloody righteousness, and the angry thoughts below
in all of our world around us, where laughter's heavan sent
and where tolerance and ignorance and hate seem mostly spent
where the clowns fill the downs of the crowns of what's for rent
leave me scratching in wonder at just what it was we meant
we interpretted the sacred books, we learned the ancient ways
we carried forth the sentiment, of those ancient, sacred days
the sentiment of righteousness, the theocracy of woes
the sentiment of what to think, while they tell us how it goes
doesn't matter how they change it, from flat world to the round
or how they rearrange it and the curious tell-all sound
of evangilism and excite-ism, where we beat and stomp the ground
in our God's fairest anger, at the latest enemy we've found
it's the social clause that binds, obliged, while they say it's just internal
separation of state it seems, but just a dream, indeed it's most external
the theocracy of one for me, but the same for you without question
is the theocracy of monogamy and the bitter jealousy of protection
and as the ends of destiny we see, cap shining sea to shining sea
and while we weigh effectively the cost of their God on you and me
so it stands with spirituality... and while evil doers plot their extremes
i do not think that word it means, what it is 'you' think it means |
