God Complex

Life is a complex without a god.
Feel too much, risk being wrong.
Sit in silence, agree, just nod.
We wish it didn't take that long.
Feel like a slave, get smacked with a rod.
Sit down, believe that you're strong. 
We all need a break from lifes daily fraud.
Please stay seated and sing your hearts song.
I'll be here, I'll listen, I'll applaud.
Wake up to the sound of a life changing gong. 

Reality rarely 
really rallies 
a real rapture or a ripple.

Condescending criminals 
cornering creative cons 
causes us to cripple.

We're never as strong as we think.
We need a reminder 
from a soul 
not on the brink 

I'm not so sure what is at stake. 
Sleep is overrated.

Am I even awake?

Today, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
