Transcendence (And Body Politic)
Her guises were stripped off
Like paint;
I had wondered where she could
have gotten to—to act like a saint
The earthquakes have multiple meanings, after all:
There are moments of truth.
But our attitudes, in facing them, such are several.
Why should we try to act on certain
situations, just to make us huge?
Her views of change mattered to
me, for lacking subterfuge
'Tis so raw, so fresh,
so debilitatingly godly
When fake media is stressed, let all
disdain blasphemy.
Are we just spirits in human bodies,—
in the physicality?—
For, when— it makes it clear,
our true selves gather up
a multitudes' spirituality!
Forgiveness is something needed,
For oneself, when we know we have hurt another,
Some people think they're perfect,
And that they only hurt others when they intend to.
Truth is, we hurt each other every day,
In one way or another, reason being,
No one IS perfect, just born blind about being human,
And having flaws, making mistakes,
And being the same, but different.
Men hate their differences
And glorify their religions
Instead of glorifying the gods.
We have built ourselves up to be
Something great in our minds,
But so small in reality,
That we can no longer even see,
We are nothing we claim to be.
Too much talk and no action,
Allowing money in the hand to mean satisfaction,
We all have blood on our hands,
Our prints on the gallows,
We've all murdered you know,
As we chant 'Hail Marys'
And His name be 'Hallowed',
As long as innocent men,
Are murdered on death row,
Better talk to yourself about forgiveness,
Cause anyone could be next ....you know?
Preachers and teachers,
All the blessed ones,
Get in line on Sundays,
And then go home to clean their guns,
Running their mouths,
About things that they read,
Never finding out for sure,
If it's even true, indeed,
The way to compassion
Is through examples, not your mouth,
And a good place to start might be
To start with yourself.
You may want to tell me
This is one big croc of s*it,
And that's ok, because it works for me,
And that's why I wrote it.
