Peek Freans Fig Roll

Peek Freans Fig Roll You make me laugh You think that the evil humanity does Has nothing to do with you And your excuses And your prayers For salvation Merely continue the blindness Of your refusal To take responsibility For the actions of your world You have a comfortable retreat In the bible And comfort in believing In a saviour And you refuse to see That the saving of your neighbour Is up to you You make me laugh With your bible quoted platitudes With your simple minded Ineptitudes To take control of your conscience Your fig leaf And your Peek Freans fig roll of sweetness Empty And wrapped in so much easy buy To fit your mouths desire for something sweet You cannot connect You are as empty as all those possessions You place so much esteem upon You are the worst case of human evolvement And evolutions greatest impediment You are slaves Slaves to religion And slaves to God Sightless in your slavery And slaves to a system Of capitalism You are a poor excuse For the rationalism and rebellion That was once Your ancestors right And their history You are all Nothing but Slaves Nothing more than superstitious cavemen Trying to explain the dark And afraid to stand up And be counted with the stars ( as in suns )

Guess it's easier for some to hide behind a "fig leaf" than to rebel against injustices. It's a sad state of affairs when we are "afraid to stand up" for our beliefs and take some responsibility for our own actions. It amazes me how anyone can hide behind a Bible while allowing these injustices to continue. Seems pretty hypocritcal. Brilliant write again, Colin! Love, Carolyn
