God, Society, Gods

I knew a man who was hurting so much 
He lost everything, didn't believe in love
He prayed for everyone that walked amongst earth 
He tried to believe in god, but every prayer flawed 
Maybe god himself, was nothing but a fraud? 
If he walked among earth, I'd say "I know exactly what you are" 
He'd see life is so very hard, being trapped beneath the stars 
Being able to see how many in the graveyard 
Is this what he wanted, did we play our part? 
Governments being the patriarchs 
It took so many years, to see that woman creates our heart 
Since the start of time, that's where the degrading starts 
We undermined our matriarch 
God's mother would be asking why do we hate each other 
This world wasn't made to suffer 
Or even face each other 
So why aren't they helping one another 
Cause society was taught, if you want something 
You just grasp out, and take it 
They don't care if it's sacred! 
Or even human nature 
They'll tear it down, they don't care if it's ancient 
Atleast once in everyman, they only know is hatred 
Because we don't believe or trust in God 
Cause has he ever talked to you? 
I take it upon my thoughts 
Because preachers tend to walk for you 
I tend to be lost, so how do they even talk for you? 
It sounds suspicious, but if there were a god... 
Where was the mention of the goddess then? 
Everyone was born, so where the hell is the honest men? 
But if he were to be reborn again 
He'd see our atrocities 
Wouldn't like our thought of philosophies 
Seeing life played like monopoly 
When countries have to cope with poverty 
But in all honesty... 
It's gotta be 
That gods given gift 
Wasn't just for us to live 
We're all gods hidden... 
Cause we're gods living.
