You May Have Your Own Religion

You May Have Your Own Religion
By Franklin Price

You may have your own religion
You may practice as you will
Do not degrade the one have
Don't use yours to maim and kill

Don't force your thoughts upon me
I have the right to have my own
To believe or not I will decide
Regardless of the bombs you've thrown

Regardless of the bullets
Regardless who you've killed before
If you want to live much longer
Don't come knocking at my door

Don't come here to kill me
Or convince me of your ways
There will be no convincing
Just the ending of your days

Everyone in America should be able to practice freedom; not die for it. We need to make the ones who want to take it away, die for it. Just sayin'
