Why believe

Maplespal

Contradictory motions at their best,
why has religion survived times test?
Weakness in a species that finds their less.
I can only guess.

Interpreted notions of being blessed,
how many sins have been confessed?
Count the millions sinners have had to pay.
That many I would say.

I am sinical to a degree of a side,
won't put my belief in a man that died.
The rest left and will never return,
and yet the sun spins and still it burns.

Why believe?

Why make myself less then what I am,
be told that I am of a lesser man,
believe and be below another's ideal,
and live giving myself to something unreal.

Why believe?

I can't do it.
