A Prelude To Remembering Me
Seeking answers for reasons why I still remain
Searching for something to elevate the pain
Chiseling away the lighter elements of my heart
Till nothing is left but all its’ darkest parts
Remember when I came to you already bought and saved
“To live is Christ, to die is gain”
But you eventually abandoned me just the same
By failing me with something so important
You only gave strength to my anger and discontent
Once a friend of the Christian trade
With knowledge of the inside, I will pull your spade
Institutionalized faith
Where lunatics find escape
To be themselves; at the same time fake
Racing each other to be Christs’ number one host
Who’s more endowed with spiritual gifts from the Holy Ghost?
Their insane behavior is biblically reinforced
And they’re encouraged to sustain their beliefs of self worth
In what normal, healthy people would call grandiose
Where life made them feel like a zero
Religion possessed the tools that would make them a hero
To be held up high in their own minds as the best
This is the result when too much nothingness manifests
Creates a desperate need for an extreme opposite
They can’t have an emotion with any balance
A symptom of someone with a mental illness
All love; No hate
Use the spirit to paint the flesh fake
And avoid carnal desires
Be like a robot
Automatic and hardwired
All for others; Nothing of self
Poorly interpreted and often abused doctrine of their decree
So in all your attempts to live free
Where does your human side retreat?
The rules have been set up to guarantee your defeat
Watch the convinced believer tell you of Armageddon
The day of wrath for the unrepentant
And salvation for the steadfast Christian
How can their thirst for violence be quenched?
When they’ve created an anti-Christ to be lynched
Miracles and all; his likeness is that of their savior
But they say he’s the devil
Dressed as a saintly impersonator
Jesus was accused of the same corruption
Calling him a false prophet and Satans’ magician
But while he discipled men to fish for souls
So they could feed nations with the gospels
You sit idol as if being alive is a holy enough mission
Making a big production for all to witness
Hating minorities with the holy bibles permission
-A perfectly practiced display of your religion-
But you’re the abomination of saint hood imitation
You do nothing but boast about your righteousness
And attack your brethren with accusations
When religion is taken so literal and serious
Black and white
Do or die choices
Though we know this our society and government
Bends an ear to such unreasonable voices
Now if there’s ever an Armageddon
It’s gonna be when your influence on my world
Has come to a complete end
A mouth of war rhetoric
Words of a righteous heretic
Christs’ revolution lost in translation
We need a modern day ‘reformation’
A good base should never be allowed to turn poisonous from their corruption
Their unquestioned superior knowledge of religion
Has for too long sustained their capability to redefine portions of our reality
By contorting the true meaning into a self serving fallacy
Religious alienation is another form to exploit difference
So expose them and their systems using the same book they manically reference.

THOSE WHO BATTLE ON THE FRONT LINES.........
Those who battle on the front lines
On either side you will surely find
Soldiers sacrificing their lives
For the likes of such kinds
Generals who are far far away
From the tank fire and bunker diving fray
He busies himself directing the war campaign
Devising and revising attack routes and plans
Arrogantly barking out his commands
In the name of the president
And his administrative demands
To the public relations committee
Puppeting the networks media sources
Filtering information for lucrative corporate endorsements
He delivers to the taxpayers a complete discourse
That would later change or be starkly denied
Yet few people called them on their lies
But more upsetting was that it appeared
The even fewer people noticed or really cared
They assured us that this war had honorable purpose
That evidence gave reason to fear another 9-11 or something much worse
So we must act with urgency
Or face the wrath of Saddams' W.M.D.s'
So seriously, we must do something quick
A pre-emptive strike should do the trick
They cropped us using the old bait and switch
Implementing their familiar political tactics
Saturating the headlines with aristocratic bullshit
You've got all this proof so why can't you show me?
Because when I watch you on T.V. all I'm seeing
Is Rumsfeld taking things he said back
And scratching his head wondering
'Where dem W.M.D.s' at?'
When he's the one who should know
Or did he forget the weapons deal
He made a couple of decades ago?
Meanwhile homeland security rolls back our freedom
Secretly investigating anti-war organizations
Jailing anyone whose' passed through immigration
And ruining careers and lives
Of people who stood up to this administration
When will history teach us the real lessons?
That it is not anti-American to question
Was it not rebellion and revolution?
That found and built this our nation
The concept of war is as rational as a childish reaction
To a problem that could only be solved by real adults
But somewhere in life, the 'hows' weren't taught
Perhaps he was absent that day
Fell asleep in class while the teacher wrote it in chalk
Or maybe he simply forgot
But it's not all his fault
When society twists his perception and removes absolutes
Is it so shocking that he's dazed and confused?
Marijuana is deemed illegal under current legislation
But we dispense pharmaceuticals if there's even the slightest deficit of attention
Drugs equal money, whether illicit or prescription
The school districts receive an increase of federal funds
For having even one more handicapped student
While it was our government that trained Bin Laden
And the Al Qaeda in methods of terrorism
We gave them millions of dollars
And weapons to fight the communist Russians
Only to use that knowledge years later against us
So how can we make exceptions?
That violence is acceptable depending on its intentions
How does one discern the difference?
'Hail To The Chief'
Our great leader who basically said
Fuck the Geneva Convention
He believes in his worldly position
Its gods divine will that he 'leadeth' our nation
Into a war that he had convinced us
Is for the freedom of our children
And a more secured homeland protection
"God Ble$$ America!"
It would have been one thing if it were an act of retaliation
But an unprovoked and illegal invasion
Looks more like the works of Satan
Especially when I heard about Halliburton
Ripping off the masses
Those who pay the majority of the taxes
When it was the rich you gave the brake
Putting the financial burden of your operation
On the strained pockets of those less fortunate
Guns, Gods and Governments
The holy trinity of sovereignty and providence
Neo-Christian conservatives verses the evil radical Muslim heathens
The Muslim says one last prayer of absolution
As he prepares for jihad, the suicide mission
The American prays with his gun
Taught during basic training that the trinity is ONE.
So finally Saddams' been captured
He'll be put on trial for crimes against humanity
It's too bad there are no crimes written for complacency
Saddam was your strongest ally in the Middle East during the 1980s'
Even though our government knew of his atrocities
These tragedies weren't enough to provoke us to remove Saddam and his bathes regime
What did was oil, globalization and greed
Basically, for Saddam, we no longer had a fiscal interest or need.
