A/N: I actually wrote this down on a church bulletin during a Sunday morning service, during a time when I was doing a lot of questioning of the Bible and the morality of Christian beliefs—what the heck, I'm still doing all that questioning. It's a self-rebuke in a way, but then again "question authority"…Anyway, let me know what you think.
"False Readers"
Objectivity,
credibility,
extreme gullibility,
which have I?
Easily led,
easily dead?
Hard of head?
I want to
decide for myself…
Our Lord has no enemy, no enemy greater
than those called False Readers
readers, readers
who read the Book
without a second look
use it to say
whatever they
believe it should,
agendas, agendas…
Liberalism,
conservatism,
moderately midway,
doesn't matter where I am!
When I open the Book
my eyes don't look
for God, but for
philosophies of man
Object to authority
it's a question of priority
accept what's given
or look for more?
But when I open the
Book, my eyes straight look
to my idealistic agenda
—should I lead others astray?
Our Lord has no enemy, no enemy greater
than those called False Readers
readers, readers
who read the Book
without a second look
use it to say
whatever they
believe it should,
agendas, agendas…
Objectivity,
credibility,
extreme gullibility,
which have I?
hard-left liberal
right-wing conservative
moderate in the middle,
all of you watch out!
Question authority
but watch your priorities
lest you fall into the trap
and become the False Reader
reader, reader…
Our Lord has no enemy, no enemy greater
than those called False Readers
readers, readers
who read the Book
without a second look
use it to say
whatever they
believe it should,
agendas, agendas…
I want to know what's right.
