What is God to me?
Just a word filled with hypocrisy.
Something to Justify Hate.
An entity you have to sate.
What to me is the Bible?
Just a book filled with Libel.
A book that teaches not love,
a book having us look to help from above.
Our time is better spent here on earth,
rather than looking to others for our self-worth
We need to make good our lives here,
rather than ruling our actions with fear.
What is church to me?
A place that tells me who to be.
A place that tells me, love is a sin.
A place that never welcomes me in.
There isn't a place for me in your Chistianity.
For surely if I believed I'd lose my sanity.
I refuse to hate myself to serve your faith.
To bow down to that would be a disgrace.
I long ago abandoned your shallow teaching,
because there is beauty in souls worth reaching.
I can't stifle my light for you.
To my own heart I must be true.
If you want to see God, look to your sisters and brothers.
If you want to see good, stop looking to others.
Be the good you need to see
For only then will you be free.
