Random Thoughts On History In A Somewhat Artistic Form

  1. I have lived a thousand lives
    And died a thousand deaths.
    This life however,
    Stands above the rest.

    Reimagining our histories,
    dividing the roles they played on each other.
    Deciding the past in their present tense,
    alone sits the glove that didn't fit.
    Words of your father,
    thoughts of his life,
    nothing to bother,
    strike it with your pill,
    time for sleep so still.

    The winner is the writter,
    his history is known.
    The loser is the bitter,
    The loser is foul,
    condemned by the church,
    brought down in a godly hour.
    It was written
    and we have read,
    forever will be told
    of their dred,
    they are foul, ungodly, heretics in name
    They lost and their deeds erased
    never will you know of their fame.

    Think for a moment
    if you will.
    What if they had won?
    Would we live still?

    If you think about it
    and you know our past.
    They changed it,
    ideas never last.
    There was no hell,
    simply a place of agony.
    But still we ring the bell.
    A new leader is announced
    and claims this place you fell
    to be a place in your future,
    burning in hell.

    There was no "God"
    then there was.
    Multitudes, or so told,
    of these beings
    Gave us life.
    Life from the earth
    made of dirt, wood, water, clay.

    How can we believe in a story
    just because they say,
    do it or die.
    Even though
    it may be a lie.

    But the truth it hurts
    In our name, in our heart
    But who's truth is true
    Well, you won't find it in your shopping cart.

    With so many opinions, thoughts, feelings.
    All of them contrasting, convicting, evicting.
    Opposing forces working toward the same goal.
    Death.

    Bomb this feeling and thought
    Bring what god declared we ought
    Spread ourselves
    Cover the rest
    Make the world it's best
    I am right
    You are wrong
    We bring you love
    And erase your song
    We are the chosen ones
    Chosen by belief
    Covered in hate
    Sorry sir
    No time to debate

    God has said, you must die
    Now tell me, would he lie?
