Birth Of An Infidel -- by Richard C. Speaks

They say their truth
will set me free
But all they've done
is lie to me


They say they're out
to save my soul
But what they want
is mind control


They claim their aim
is peace and love
And the worship of
their god above


These things they say
don't make much sense
How about a little
evidence?


They say I'm damned
for questioning their truth
I'm weak-willed and wrong
for seeking proof


Only sheep believe in Heaven
And I'm a free-thinking man
I think their truth isn't true
It's a lie and a scam

THE TRUTH -- by Richard C. Speaks

Here's another
messiah to sell
And here's some lies
for him to tell
Another nauseating mountain
of shit to smell
A new and terrifying
vision of hell

I love love
And I hate hate
I believe in free will
instead of fate
This world is in
a sorry state
Let's make things right
before it's too late

Stop winging wishes
at the empty air
There's no one there
to hear your prayers
We're all alone
And life's unfair
Your problems are
your cross to bare

Respect and love
are the way to go
If we're to survive
we need to grow
The truth is something
we already know
No one needs
to tell us so

THE END
