Programmed Youth

Rolling along like a stumbling tumbleweed, Programmed youth respond like robots. Social norms are tightening tourniquets, Restricting the flux of creative flow. Wiggle room is considered a luxury. Churches corral and prod like cattle. Spoon-fed youth shackled to fantasy Are taught to rebuke science as fraud. Rebellion begins with autonomous thought. Logic tramples faith based dictation. Live like Jesus, but know that the Bible Was written by man with ungodly agendas. Freedom is found in the life of a Sheperd, So stray from those who foolishly smite. Jesus, the liberal, rallied the desolate And turned his cheek at the mention of war.
