Isaiah 54:13
He said to me in my hour of deepest need
“do not despair, for
I am always with thee
stupid.”
And that was the beginning of belief,
in a place so forlorn and rude
full of drugs, riot and, death.
He took me for a walk across the land and
no matter how far my legs stretched
he always was there a second beforehand .
That was the beginning of faith,
in a Godless region of confusion fighting,
arguing over meanings.
“Words” he said to me
“all have only one specific meaning
in the viper pit of conditional religion.”
in the viper pit of conditional religion.”
And that was how I began to be unblinded, to see.
“Don’t let anyone frighten you with their definitions and
conditions
for I’ll teach you for as long as you keep your ass in the
desk ,
question everything, are able to explain your positions
most of all stay the fuck away from ignorance of religion.
