Life

Why would our childern Ever be the things that we are not? The world around us can not be changed With a simple thought It's your duty to be a soldier Or to die if you haven't fought Now if you're like me You're sick of this lie That people have bought But the people who first sold it to us The ones that we should blame Blame your enemy Or blame your sister Either way, it's the same Because times now are changing Our whole world can be seen rearranging To fit the fragile pieces That they say can stop me from raging But I'm still writing on this page And nothing is getting any better Right now I'm just looking for something To make me feel light as a feather Some form of escape From this modern world that is being plauged Drugs Rape Wars And everything that can be seen That isn't staged People say that they listen to the facts And then close their eyes all the same But when you close them You are blind And then your mind can be tamed This is a world where civil rights Are seen as less important Than one's religion Where being bullied for what you think is fine But you don't see them as your brethern You don't see them as your friends When really, they are your very own family Conversations with your peers Saying "doing this will really bring out the man in me" So you push him to the floor And he's crying, while you shout But is this the path of your Jesus Christ? If so... then Count me out (out, out) Your savior stood for compassion Accepting others for how they were Your God created you to love everyone Gay, straight Him or her Everyone I speak with nowadays cites scripture But they won't discuss Even the devil can cite scripture if he must For his own purpose Your savior stood for compassion Accepting others for how they were Your God created you to love everyone Gay, straight Him or her (her, her, her) But don't get started thinking That I'm against the idea Of a God above I'm more against the idea of caring for some And for others, no love I'm more against the idea of real hate Because of how I look How I talk Or how I act How I think Or what I believe in your sacred book Maybe I can be judgemental And maybe in your eyes I show signs of being insane But I promise you now I'm not the only one Who gets wet when you see the sky rain So maybe we could put aside the fact That you and I have seperate ideas But I will not sit back and watch you do this to any of my peers So if you can not change the way you think Or at least the way you act I don't believe you'll have a part in my life And that statement is a fact Equality is a right Everyone else deserves it just as much as you Freedom is a basic need And love is something we all should do If someone doesn't see that Then that someone doesn't see If someone doesn't need that Then that someone doesn't need Now these are just some words on paper That may describe how you feel They couldn't change your life That's done by your very own free will But the world is changing rapidly And it's time you catch up to it It's not my job to make you start But it is to help you realize this Think of those people you call friends Whom you help whenever they're need Thinking they ask out of pure helplessness And not asking with only greed So you agree to do What they need to do Until everything is done But once you give them what they need The same people will leave you with... None (none, none)
