Do You Believe In God?
May you tremble as I tweak?
My mind's been going; it's been bleak..
I feel you pray inside your mind,
but why not speak your words of rhyme?
Do you feel your strength will go,
If I would hear; think I would blow?
I touch your face, I feel your sweat,
you are the insect that's trapped in my net.
But if I would say I'd let you go,
by simply letting loose of your installed grasping woe.
Your woe which it is, believing in this,
forever being that you haven't even heard hiss.
But do think it up twice,
I'm being rather nice;
give up his thought, and I'll let you live.
But give up his word and die old with that sin...
("Do you believe in god? Written on the bullet? Say yes, I'll pull the trigger." From the
band FLYLEAF song CASSIE Was listening to it and made me write this.)
