Jesus is dead.

[TheDeceased]

There was a form with a dotted line
And in order to reform you had to sign
Then angels would rejoice, or so they said
(You have to remember that they had rocks in their head)

Though despite their one track minds
And despite the blind leading the blind
At least there’s salvation for them in the end
Or maybe what a goldfish finds round the U-bend

Regardless at least they have hope for the future
While I’m stuck here smoking dope like a loser
At least they’ve devoted their lives to a cause
While I’ve spent my life on rewind or on pause

But then again fuck that I’d rather be baked
Than bow down to God and be baptized in a lake
So Moses can suck my atheist balls
And the pope-mobile can crash through a wall

There have been no wars ignited by smoke
Though granted times past and my memory’s a joke
There’s something that’s left I don’t regret
And that is all or any of it

I’m not going to follow an ancient set of rules
Crudely constructed by tripped out old fools
Looking for ways to make a quick buck
While everyone else’s face down in the muck

Religion is the solicitation of the soul in the name of retribution
The lease of our spirit to so-called holy financial institutions
A book of maps for what is supposed to be an uncharted journey
Limiting you to the revelations of other travelers who’ve come before you

Fuck God with a lightning rod

Jesus is dead

thats awesome nice read

i first read this and laughed and than re-read it. I liked a lot of the meta content. The notion of old versus new and how we integrate those things. I find it weird that you said you would rather be high than find salvation but also mentioned that the rules were passed down from tripped out old fools. perhaps truth can be found within it if looked at an alternative way? YOu subconsciously are making a connection.

 

[TheDeceased]

I didn't say I'd rather be high than find salvation. If I could hang out with those tripped out old fools, I would. I'm sure they'd be interesting. But religion has come a long way from the wise men. Now it is orchestrated by idiots. I don't believe I am subconsciously making any connection..

 

[Keepit Chill]

I didn't laugh at all while reading it, I agree with the point your trying to get across and thought you did it in a clever way.

 

[maloxx]

lol, though religion today would be nowhere without psychoactives, if only the followers of said religions still used them, then the world might be a more tolerant place

Very nicely done. I started reading with a quizzical look on my face, but by the second stanza I could appreciate where you were going. Good job.
