dusk arising

disappointed (re-write)

 

 

 

Disappointed with nothing meaningful

.         when life bids big questions \'Why?\'

Whilst conscripts in a faith for \'meek and humble\'

.         devoutly swallow lies.

But confounded by ambiguities

.         and those childhood instilled fears,

Each cry of \'WHY?\' shouts even louder

.         and death draws ever near.

 

 

.                Neither talk to me of charity

.                nor shame me with goodwill.

.                Or the piousness of that poorest of man

.                who\'s name is worshipped still.

 

.                N0!.. look instead at their wealth and finery

.                as is launched one more appeal.

.                To empty a poor man’s pocket

.                whilst in $billions the churches deal.

 

 

Such power they have engineered

.         to capture hearts and minds.

With years of crafted psychology

.         and a fear to keep all blind.

But purity of heart was not invented here,

.         though they\'d have you believe it so.

For ‘twas ever shown to each newborn child.

.         for so it was,  and will be,  tomorrow.
