INCULCATION


I was never a part of the scene.

I was comin' apart at the seams.

My Jesus, all I could see...

Sure God, was dwellin' in me.



Alone with the "truth", in bed as a child...

Wrestling desperately, flailing and wild.

Hoping against hope, that it could be true...

Jesus would love me, but what could I do?



Hated myself with a passion.

Sure I'd burn after this for my actions.

Knew I just had to believe.

Took decades for me to break free.




Alone with the truth, in bed as a child...

Wrestling desperately, flailing and wild.

Hoping against hope, that it could be true...

Jesus would love me, but what could I do?



I slept, at night with my demons.

A dreamin' and always a fearin'...

That Jesus would come back and set me on fire...

All the while Satan, wearing a smile.



Alone with the truth, in bed as a man...

At peace with the facts, just do what I can.

False hope is blinding, faith in a lie.

Take your time, look closer, just analyze.



Our country's sordid history of enshrining "closely held beliefs" as the law of the land ensures the ongoing inculcation of each subsequent generation of those that will suffer and dispense suffering in the name of their "god".

I perceive it as a government funded ongoing mass crime against humanity.

May reason rule wherever we may dwell!
Happy Thursday y'all and remember..

Life is short, so ya' better...

Laissez bon temps rouler!

No matter what you do!

Doubt is my "savior"... Reason is my "god"!
