Book of Rules

Try to keep up as I verbally shift gears 
You can't live life if you're controlled by fear 
Totally imprisoned by the sins of the flesh 
Cursing, and drinking and my favorite one sex 
All of these rules coming from all these books 
I smirk at religion a nice form of crooks 
Mind manipulation in it's best form 
A world wide agenda to have you conform 
If you never commit sins then how do you transform? 
If you never know evil then how are you reborn? 
How can you forgive if you never been scorned? 
How can you repair something that's never been torn? 
I believe we are born to this world, babies innocent creatures 
Then life adds religion, creed,race all of these features 
I won't conform to a life based on a book or a  preacher 
I'm seeking life experiences that's my only true teacher
