When does a church

Hold a throne?

When God is alive,

And he calls it home.

When does a lie become wisdom?

When the desperate and dejected

Are the only ones listening.

Funny thing

How hatred begins,

It starts with oneself,

And it’s taught to the kids.

It’s the mass-burial

Of dreams once shared,

Now swept from the table…

Leaving us bare.

When does a man

Have the power to steal

Our peace of mind,

And knowledge of what’s real?

When he takes your heart,

And tells it what to feel…

So the hopeless and hungry

Never find their way.

Never heal.
