Who are you

To judge or question?

 

Daydreams of gluttonous riches

And hallucinations of grandeur

Leave judges lusting for heaven

While darkened souls pray

On haughty hearts

Tainting the spirits of men

 

Hypocrites of a holy measure

Asking others to bear their crosses

This a load they dare not tarry

While preaching misconstrued truths 

And holding bibles in their hands

Only burdening the souls of man

 

 A cheek unturned

To the faults of mankind

Tells the devil's tale

A story of sin

Unrealized by humanity

Is the true essence of hell 

 

Freewill is the right to choose

So desire wisely!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Man..oh Man....You collected superb thoughts on this one.
I makes me think of how people pray for Holiness, but how
to do so..they would have to surrender free will. Yet, they
still insist that Holiness could be bestowed apon them...when
it has to be a conscious decision to adopt a lifestyle.
Great work here!

On the subject of religion, I think we might share some common ground. None of us can judge the disposition of another person's soul, for we will not be on that jury.

i find a lot of spiritual/religious overtones in your work.
