So, I was reminded today why I rarely read the newspaper. Here's some thoughts, in one big gigantic run on sentence (hehe) about a story that I can only describe as disturbing...the words in "( )" is a seperate small piece.. i just tied the two together to try something different.

Calling you out for the last time
Come show your face for the first time
I've got a head full of questions
And a busted heart filled with lies
I won't spend one second on my knees
I will not be thankful for what I have not asked for
Or apologize for hating all that my eyes see
This solution is my salvation
Life is too slippery for books
The time has passed for tricks like faith and grace
The beast laughs more and more every day
Evil has never been afraid to show its face
Just look to the front page
Look into the face of the starving or
Of the infants born with a disease
They will never understand, for every miracle
One million bodies lie piled high in your name
I'm calling you out- come show your face
Stand before me and I will destroy you
Shed your mask and I will destroy you
The priests that serve so proudly in your son's name
As sick as any monster that walks the streets
(And I'd walk away just to see you cry)
Leading young boys into the hell that they have preached against
Once you tell me how they can ever trust in
(Because loving words are only words when
Loving words mean nothing)
One single word that you have said
Your empire has been been built on the guilt of the meek
(To your heart and I walked away)
So many lives imprisoned
(And I haven't seen that smile for awhile) and a shame that spins
Out of control in your name
(And now I'm choking on my self-segregated heart)
Young Tommy, who finds you only in his father's shiny handguns
Marches his truth, straight into school
Points the barrel, and pulls the fucking trigger
And bodies that turn into colored rain tell me a story that I can believe
Look me in the eye
And tell me a story that you believe
