IM NOT A CHRISTIAN, IM JUST HUMAN

I am a catholic in any possible way

I've been with every colors of the spectrum in faith

Living like anyone else in an earthly state

I see no difference, in my eyes all is the same

 

What makes me different from everybody else?

Am I to be saved while others grow stale?

I grieve for those in pain for their religion

Why do they have to suffer in vain

 

Browsing in the net I found a picture

a picture of beauty and symmetry I must say

monks down on their knees like stones on a beach

I looked further into the picture and my heart just fell and me knees went weak

 

In  the land of the dancing peacocks they killed Muslims for faith

what sins did they commit? Is it too grave to forgive?

Lets slaughter everybody for its god’s will, we be stiff

Orphan a child, alone, for us to be redeemed

 

I am a human too, when was it holy to **** another?

religion is a choice made by sovereignty over ourselves

so what made them do wrong for their death to face?

all of them is in so much debt for their lives to be seized?

 

My soul shatters like glass thrown a million miles

stomach twisted stuck in turbines of fate

prayers for their souls all I can make

cry futile tears for my voice they cannot hear

 

Don’t respect people for their faith

Provide them with sanctity as humans yourselves

Just protect life for they deserve to live

Live like their shoes are covering your own heel
