Beliefs Sometimes
Beliefs Sometimes
By Franklin Price

Beliefs sometimes all consuming
Denying every other view
Has been so since antiquity
Is really nothing new
What I believe is only right
What you believe untrue
I'll fight you to the very death
Make you believe it too
Now doesn't that sound foolish
What you believe is you
Only mathematics and sometimes science
Are all that's proven true
Religion is a choice we make
Our Gods or not our own
And when we die go somewhere else
Or lie in our graves alone
Politics are much the same
Control the way live
How we exist with others
How we take and give
Forcing others to believe
By proving right with might
Does nothing but cause discord
And is asking for a fight
Let others believe in what they will
None at all should force the others
Mankind on Earth should get along
For all of us are brothers
Getting along is thought by many
Practicing is such a fuss
If the majority were practicing
There could be peace on Earth for us
