In Reality

In Reality Why do we presume such things As the roles people must play And that from commoners to kings We must all behave in a certain way That heroes are fearless is a tale An image trying to make them more They know bravery is scared as hell Yet going on, even at death’s door That those we elect to lead us Should be able to serve us all Is ludicrous - for none but Jesus Can lead and serve without a fall That parents have it all together Under their laws we’re bound for life Is an illusion creating stormy weather It is tradition with time-honored strife That those who teach in schools Live only disciplined, honorable lives Like us, these humans will break rules Needing forgiveness, not verbal knives That those who serve to protect us Military, police, medical and more Are more perfect than just us What might we do in uniform? That priests and preachers for God Lifted mystically above me and you Are yours to “roast” at will - how odd Because love is everyone’s job to do We want to lift high and be near People we envy, things we desire While putting down those we fear As we look, we are seen no higher In reality we are all strong In reality we are all weak To the human race we all belong God alone offers the truth we seek
