to be great is to be misunderstood . . .

Our father who art in heaven
old testament society
new testament variety
mid testament sobriety
let's play bible school
in a world that's old with no new tricks
run by the same reincarnates
of the past and future hypocrites
we all aspire to be
hallowed be thy name
well the lessons no one taught
and the ones that we forgot
will be why we all rot till
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
my ray of sun
never shone so bright
piecing together shards of light
in the dark
there's a spark
not of your glory but of eternal big bangs
corroding endlessly into the very same veins
of the ones who can't hide from their ray of sun
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
my brethren all amount
the peace we can't find, jealousy, of what's mine, what's theirs, the same ray of sun
and every way you look at it, there's no place to run
from a light of such intensity, we're blinded too long
we look to the sky for the answers under ground
with light in our eyes, we don't dare look around
cause everyone's got a puzzle piece to small to be forsaken
one out-circuited bulb and the whole tree wont light
give us this day
one more chance to royally screw you over, to pluck up our luck and bet our life on a 4 leaf clover
global cooperation on a project left for dead
too small to understand the blood that was shed
shedding spotlights on pedestals too high to feel gravity
reality, puncturing holes in the galaxy
ozone cell phones, brain cancer a tumor of design
bleeding and seeping creeping in like parasites
too high to hear our plea
our daily bread
a hunk of knowledge food for thought
the apple doesnt fall far from the tree
we feast on the knowledge yet still we curse eve
deceived we retrieve only what we can conceive to be
your will, does it thrill you to see us end this way?
forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us
we try and we break and take an eye to protect us
put up walls and fences between us
judgment is eternal but the inferno works against us
so much lying stealing raping killing
the earth cant renew all these holes we are filling
bring out your dead and carry yourself for you are soon to come
just another filling in the molar of the scum
that is this dire straight
lead us not into temptation
sugar coated sin as virgin's penetration
inevitable, incredible your high expectations
we provide and we take and we make and we break and we breed and we kill
and we feed a wind mill a yin yang
all in vain
but we get by, on these lies we tell ourselves
this is how it is and was and has always been
but deliver us from evil
AMEN




. . . or just one, lol
