GOD SEEKER

You carried HIS THRONE
...I should have my own
You worshiped HIS NAME
...I should be the flame
You did your duty, as commanded
...I will never be reprimanded

...by that MAN

The moment you saw
You could not un-know
How physics would let out
How life would flow

Plans and schemes
Then the declaration
In between it all
A valid accusation

I would be a better GOD
I am setting myself against Spirit
Don't try to send me help or TRUTH
I refuse to give ear to hear it

I will sit up a system for man
Comprised of honor and reward
God and country, served
With promise to shield from famine and sword

I will have an industry
Built on entertainment and pleasure
Creating a feeling of entitlement
For entering in at leisure

I've covered all the basis
With knowledge on its throne
I will harvest souls as payment
For humanity thinking they could own

....MY WORLD
