A HOUSE DIVIDED What right do you have to tell someone Else how to use their bodies like they should You don’t run their life and they not yours How they meet their mistakes Is their own decision, to do as they should Just because you hold up a book Written so long ago you believe the words of ancient hate… you still have not the right to tell me how to think How out to date, out of context, used without understanding A text you can’t comprehend only misread, misrepresented A book you claim appoints you to say This is what you should do and this what you should believe A false narrative in the ugliest of thoughts, deeds How misguided, how blind, now corrupt and so naive This is not that, not all the words were meant to be used as you see If you are not meant say, then don’t, it will set you free, It is your hypocrisy, your disease To love and to be love, as that is the New Covenant Not the blasphemy of this the current government What gives you the right to tell someone Else what to do Yes, life is precious Life is glorious A Secret, none are born Holy N Perfected But this is the real world, the world Of life in flesh and blood not archaic stories Or bullet points to approve a false Armageddon This is the real world, keep your high thoughts to yourself Let a man or woman, be a person who decides what they should be All by themself, if they are ready to reap the rewards or oblivion Let them decide with love and caring from those around them To make the correct decision Do not judge Or yet ye be judged Mistakes are made We’re all human We know it is up to that person to define What they need to do Or which way to go If you want to do the thing that is right Support them with all your might They may be inspired by what you feel is correct Done in their best interest to give them All there is. ...is respect What right do you have to tell someone Else how to use their bodies like they should You don’t run their life they not yours How they meet their mistakes Is their own decision, to do as they should Only they alone will stand in judgment… Someday!
