Wake Up On the Left Side

"WAKE UP ON THE LEFT SIDE"


believing in their god gives me 
the exact opposite of everything 
they claim their god gives them.
somewhere in their creed, someone 
inside their head, married the 
idea that the best way to live 
these morals are to shove it down 
your throat. 
the warrior inside you murdered 
the survivalist and showed you 
that you were born to win every 
war you enter even if you lose.
I cringe of the people that fail 
to grab the reality.
these people let their past confuse 
them into a religious arrogance.
what is worse? the fool who leads 
the fool or the fool who follows?
you must live your life, you must 
breathe in your air, you must trash 
everything that insults you, you 
must stay away from those that 
work their god to convenience.
question it all.
even the skull provides a home 
for the spider.
