who's story

[homeyjay]

dear father please forgive me
for not seeing things so clearly
i mean even the the reverend's chat
only served to set a brother back
for surely you know i would
never question your stand sir
i'm puzzled why to so many things
there just doesn't seem to be an answer
are you a rumor perpetuated from the start
keep a people blind by putting fear in their hearts
crippled by the invisible,inexplicable ball and chain
i've seen so many bad things happen to good people
been told that God makes no mistakes is that true?
read and hear 'bout fathers and priest being so corrupt
they're supposed to be the closest to God so what is up
empire's lying,killing,stealing for money and the power
but we are taught to pray for who's back God has is ours
and when we are slain because our savior did not arrive
how ironic would it be if in vain is the only reason that we died

sometimes i wish
that i could just
make my life stop
and start all over again

Thanks I.D. - I know that this is a reach, but I'm like what if there really is no God. I mean we got priests in Chicago being sued by their molestors almost every week and I'm like if they serve God then why aren't they affraid of his wrath? Makes me think like this whole religion thing is a snowjob. Why does God allow all the bad things happen in the world (world war, starving countires, infant deaths) and not stop it. From a science or even a scholarly perspective maybe religion is just a sedative for the masses. Is the Bible 100% truth if so how do we know? I'm just saying that sometimes you gotta test the waters first instead of just jumping in. Not trying to start a debate or nothing just putting a brother's thoughts out there.

That part hit me HARD... more than anything I've read anywhere on the whole board today.

I feel like I know you, dude... cuz I was having these same exact thoughts a few years ago. Almost to the letter.

What I know to be true (and I say know because of the things that have happened to me in the last few years of my life, which I'm open to share with anyone who's interested): Men aren't perfect, Jesus was and still is. People sin, period. Everyone: saved, unsaved, priests, pastors, drug dealers, bankers, me, you, us. The devil hits men and women of God very, very hard and we can't beat him alone -- if we try to, we will lose... if we don't confess before it's too late, we lose (man I'm preaching to myself right now)... our secrets will kill us, and that's what happens to these priests who hold those things in... man I could get into this forever, but my replies to your poems are always crazy long (you're right Irish-dipstick) lol.

Thanks C, for ya input as always it's appreciated. Big ups on peepin' that last line too. It's not like I'm thinkn' 'bout givin' up, it was more of a statement of frustration really. I know that when I was walkin' with the Lord everything seemed to fall into place, yet I felt restricted in a way. Now I'm without restraints, discipline and direction. So I guess I'm soul searching and using up all my excuses for not becoming who I was really meant to be.
I remeber the minister once saying "that God sometimes has to let you get beat down inorder for you to listen" so I guess that I'm takin' a lickin' but I will get back up that's fo sho.

YO I.D. - After further review I agree, just looking at nature on a whole is a prime example. Still when it hits so close to home it's kind of hard to see the big picture I guess. Thanks for the holler tough.
