God People
I don’t understand how you justify your war
To me you are pretending or just keeping score
in some game that is madness
a madness you just seem to ignore
As you pretend it’s OK with a wink and a nod
And ignoring the hypocrisy of holding up God
As the reason you’re fighting and killing and dying
Anyone with real courage would admit they are lying
For a good man lives love and does not make misery
The most courageous man makes peace with his enemy
I don't understand how you justify your hate
To me you are just afraid to be awake
as you pretend all the death and destruction is ok
justified by your God as the only way
A God of love knows hate is the enemy
And God knows you are lying when you claim glory
In death and destruction of the symmetry
That you say God created as far as you say see
as if it was made just you...
the world is not just for you or me
A Noble Arrogance
I suppose it was quite arrogant of me to think I could save the world. To think that I could find the worlds to convince enough people to overcome their fears and love each other. I mean, just because their gods basically command them to love each other and treat each other with kindness and you ought to know if you believe in the good books you pray and kill and die for. Feel challenged, not threatened. Inspired by songs like this one or this one, I let the words pour out in rhythm and rhyme with one mission, to express the logic and reason of loving each other, sharing the world peacefully, as the only way we can all survive on this planet. A foolish dream, perhaps. Yet whether arrogant or foolish or just plain mad, I still dream it.
