Fortune Favours the Brave...
sexism discrimination
prejudice
excessive lies
fear deceit
all of this and much more
determines any soul
incomplete
remembering there is good,
and evil in every race
but...these so called leaders'
have disgraced-
they preach but, their practice
is out of line-
time reveals history shows
their decision-
their conclusion-
opportunist illusion?
holy wars
unfaithful presidents
propaganda everywhere
politicians of mass corruption
priests, preachers, sexual predators
mind mutilator
...man made mockery churches
of self destruction
priest distrusted career!
people choose alternatives
oppression meter, level monitored
churches empty
priests, preachers, pastors
core of crime false profit
discovered in pulpit...
poor man poorer
whilst rich man reaps
to pay the corrupt
is hideous and obscene
...more capitalist deceit...
catholics Christians
coached to point the finger
at any opposition
"it is here the
mind bending begins"
sinners sin-
think for yourself!
without deceit...
or follow "sacrificial sheep"
emotional cripple...be aware...
do you really need to be told
God is in you (behold)!
I will not follow false profit
words intrusive, dangerously
corrupt,
be true to myself - or follow the corrupt...
"the courage of my conviction
will lead me not into temptation
and deliver not unto a mad man"
scribe re-written parchment
in truth lies cannot hide
It is man who lives
in fear, his faith controlled
by this fear, trapped
sometimes unaware,
repetitive message...
ultimately the truth exposed...
faith is heartfelt,
follow this belief with love
God will grant eternal peace-
or in battlement will increase
the courage of my conviction...
the truth I will not hide...
believing this message powerful
...my soul will survive...
