Ignorance
I live in a land of ignorance
Hypocrisy
And shame
No one tells the truth
They hide behind religion
Claiming they're exempt
From the sins they commit
By praying to a God
That doesn't exist
If he did
He'd be deaf and blind
To me at least
I feel like a I'm a joke
The whipping girl
To a cruel deity
We live in a world
Where the losers are winners
And the righteous are sinners
I get questioned daily
About why I'm an atheist
Just look at my body and mind
And you will see
Just how cruel life can be
I got dealt a hand a cannot hold
Maybe I should just fold
The cards are rigged
And my fate is sealed
I'll never be a winner
So why play at all
