Doublecross

God saw the Sun and gave it to the light, He saw the darkness and saved it for the night. He divided the mind from the heart, And reason lost love right from the start. He parted the sane from the insane And planted doubt there across in the brain. Joy is pain, hate is love, and small is great, Its all just there in your limitless pate. Then he created the firmament, but it’s not permanent, Loose or win, who can define what is a sin? All is one for you, and none is too: What is the cross? And what is a double cross? Krishna is Christ, and Zeus is Jesus: who knew? Buddha and Allah too: so what do we do? So many lives, so many convoluted ties What is the truth, and what are the lies? From where you were born, that is how you are torn! We walk a precarious path based on tradition and faith, On a plane so vast, in stone, we create our future’s past We stand in a limitless dark wood, blind to our eventual fate And the location of that starry internal gate.. And God saw that it was good!
