Moments of contradiction in a realm of distinctions

The tongues of the virtuous speak from hearts gone sour

then languish aft sherbet sweetening their breath

What's implied when we're chewing on bullets

that backfire in our mouths, painting our lips with hate?

With guns as the power behind their convictions

the children claim vict'ry at the Battle of Dunce

Who believes what's included at the Liar's Debate?

Will their girls have erections at the initiation rites?

As the natives are waiting for just compensation

the agents insist that their treaties were forged.

These denizens now stand 'round the Lake of Extinction

awaiting morticians to whisk their spirits away

Midst orgies of protests sign'ling the demise of reason

the dreams of the insignificant are smashed one by one

Screams arise from an underground passion

where the burning of flesh fills the nights with incense

The rice-niggas sing praise in their bent positions

fleeing hell when freedom snagged their hearts

So many the stories of progress repeated

stories of progress newly deferred 

*Thoughts of Alan Jones:

  -Believing is never simply a matter of a scent to a doctrine.

  -To bring believing and being together can be a painful and tearful process.

  -It is no wonder that many religious people are deeply angry and resentful.  To be sure, their true feelings are often covered by a veneer of "oughts," "shoulds," and "good manners."  Resentment is a natural response to unrealistic and unreasonable demands made on people, as if they were finished and complete entities.  Harry Williams comments: "Why do people imagine that in order to have God you must also have all this kind of nonsense?  It is because...religion is to a large extent what people do with their lunacy: their phobias, their will to power, their sexual frustrations." 

  -Knowledge without love can lead to despair.
