started to feel silly

Mar-07, originally uploaded by tomleu68.

Used to believe
But often times not really
After doing the homework
Started to feel silly…

Circular reasoning
It all goes back to the book
Written by men
Banking few would really look

Evidence when it’s serving
Faith when it’s not
It’s all or nothing
Shit or get off the pot

Searching for followers
Saving converts and sheep
Who ask no hard questions
While staying deep asleep

Power in numbers
Believing all the “good stuff”
Perpetuating the myth
Of never being good enough

It’s really big business
Selling only one way
Us vs. them
With many willing to pay

Wondered if others
Feel the way I felt
Freedom at last
Exiting the bible belt

Compelled to share
Knowing the reception would be chilly
But the burden is lifted
Now I no longer feel silly…
