The Trick Or Treat of Man
The willow of life bares no fruit
When fall arrives it leaves the ground
as the fall on man has created sin
the tree of knowledge had been eaten
As we see the future blinded by our sins
and the passed has been forgotten
so be it, we only create in the present
for life brings death because of man
We tattle and tinker among all created
Believing this life will never stop or end
as a child grows they play with games and toy’s
Never stopping through the end of time
We guess and ponder at what is right or wrong
then make a decision and create new laws
trapping mankind into believing man is right
using their own words that they have created.
A circle of knowledge given to the new
Passing it down though time from the old
Sounds of wisdom written down and read
following as sheep going to be slaughtered
Christ made a man see and yet we are blind
He made man babble without understanding
Just as today mans language is confusing
Adding new meanings to our origin
Once gay made you happy now it has changed
Tricking mans mind with confusion and delusion
Thinking that man will always be truthful
Forgetting we are also in the same illusions
None are right and none are wrong
Only man can correct man but, Christ saves us all
Man has even corrupted his own salvation
Tricking himself into believing only himself
Take head and hear and clean thy eye,
of Confusion.
