We study the bible religiously but maybe if you lived with God in your head and off your tongue you'd act as if the devil weren't the only one on your shoulder.  We are not equal so shed that skin like the snake that you are and reveal your true colors. You are not sugar and spice.  You are everything but nice.  Sin, corrupt infallible undeniable undeniably selfish, you are.
I'm ashamed to be part of a world that only sees black and white when there are a million shades of grey and why we value one over another.  Why we see the world only through stars and stripes when it's been proven round.  Round and round history goes, repeating like a moral debate. Separation of church and state? Eve was our first lady. What a saint, what a martyr, what a *****:  women should be liberated not just furniture with pretty upholster designed to do nothing but gather dust.
The only mark left on a body should be that of Cain, to serve and to protect, to hold one another up like the atlas held the sky. Be the map, not the fire and lead the way to a new era, a generation that generates art instead of war, a world that doesn’t take lives, just gives more. We are the salt of the earth and you are the salt of the sea, can’t you see? Open your eyes, step from the shadow into the light and then maybe you can understand that two wrong turns don’t make anything right.
