Live Like You Mean It

Live Like You Mean It

A Poem by Grace
"

blind leading the blind

"

And again they shout "Hallelujah"

Unanimous, mindless

Like a good luck charm.

As if they could ward off reality.

 

"Give your souls to the Lord Almighty"

Drawls the curbside prophet

To his rapt listeners

Waiting for the End of the World

 

I sold my soul

When i was five years old

To an overgrown religion

With an ingrown philosophy

 

Put on your mask

For sunday service!

Spread the love!

care, because its expected

 

Martyrs died for their beleifs

What did we die for?

We live in ignorance; Never

 Knowing that we're Too Far Gone
