You’ve Got Your Jesus

-You’ve Got Your Jesus-

You’ve Got Your Jesus
You’ve got your faith
The powers of dismay
Allow you to see reality
In such a naïve way
I wish it was all as simple
As a willingness to believe
I wish the powers of faith were enough
But I know that is not the case
How could it ever be
I want no part of it
The risks are far greater than I wish
You are certainly no fool
But you are playing
Quite a dangerous game
One with monumental risk
One that I myself could
Never begin to understand
I spend each day of my life
Walking upon blasphemies line
God is bored with my logic
His refusal to hear anything else
From me has become
My greatest defense mechanism
Certainly he could smite me down
Easily killing me in place
Easily wiping me from existence
Destroying my earth bound shape
The vengeful nature of his ways
Once powerful in every way
Have since been replaced
Understanding is his new way
Freewill is the only truth he knows
He could take all that I love away
Making it damn near impossible for me
But I am confident that he will not
How could he ever
This life, both yours and mine
Are parts of a greater experiment
Parts of a greater calamity
He equally loves us as the mistakes we are
You’ve got your Jesus
Your chosen god of one and the same
I have nothing more than I need
And nothing more than I want
All that is good needs something bad
All that is right is only known
Through an understanding of what is wrong
Comparing and contrasting beings
And the predicaments faced
Allows for the master of all things
To understand that his carefully laid plan
Is just as flawed as it is perfect…
