"Do not go gentle into that good night" -Dylan Thomas


The world was once what it cannot be,

The world is what it cannot flee.

The world is fallen from its old familiar style,

The world is one that refuses to smile.

How can we be happy if our world is so tense?

We wonder about depression, but it honestly makes since.

Our children are masking there feelings with scars on there wrists,

Covered by sleeves, fake happiness, and bliss.

We wonder why our children are becoming mothers,

But why not when we keep screwing one another?

They see what we do,

Then they do it too.

To leave it alone would be such a sin,

But to talk of my God would make others cringe.

I wish I could show them the thoughts in my head,

The thoughts of the world that would embarrass you red.

Things you forget and the things you let slide,

They add up to an emotional ride.

We say we protect children in schools,

Bullying isn't tolerated and those are the rules.

As suicide rates in teenagers go up,

I think that your rules have faded in luck.

Atheists are right, because that's so true.

Christians are all satanists, how could they be so rude?

It's impossible that they're human or that they make mistakes?

And now unemployment is growing in rate.

People aren't even looking for new jobs,

and America is blindly being robbed.

I can't pray out loud at school,

I can't talk about God because that's not cool.

They made it a law,

Because none any of those have flaws.

Freedom of religion or so call it these days

Only reigns in America, isn't that strange?

I guess other presidents and Kings and Queens

Don't want they're people to meet different needs?

I'm not saying Christians are the bomb an you're going to hell.

All I'm saying is do you remember when earth fell?

Maybe it started when the earth wasn't so blue.

A lady or man heard on the news.

"A woman got angry", they're start out say,

"When her kid was being prayed with in school everyday"

She sued them for everything they had and more.

Who even knows what she did it for?

She started this thing, and they passed a law.

Prayer in school is just unthought of.

You ask me why all of these children are cussing?

Why can't my teenager just trust me?

Why is my daughter hating her life?

I cleaned my sons pants and I found a knife?

I found a stash of weed in the closet?

My teen came home drunk and his car was a wreck?

All of these things are wrong and so much more!

Why do we have policemen patrolling high school floors?

What danger lies in pure education?

Why don't you want your kids to be one nation?

The dispute has rivalled so many cultures.

I know America's free because they're all like vultures.

I'm privileged because I'm white.

I'm smart because I'm white.

I'm rich because I'm white.

It's not racist because I'm white.

Why don't we have any rights?

I can't talk about my religion because I'm a Christian.

I shove my religion down your throat for praying for my food because I'm Christian.

I can't read my bible in school because I'm a Christian.

I can't close my eyes and pray to get through the day because I'm a Christian.

I can't have an opinion because I'm a Christian.

I can't be cool because I'm a Christian.

I can't be in relationships because I'm a Christian.

There is no room for error because I'm a Christian.

I'm obviously not human because I'm a Christian.

Why is it so hard to just stop and listen?

To make me feel normal, or be a friend?

I'm not condemning you hell or saying I'll kill you in the end.

I just hope that one day you'll see God how I see him.

More then faith, it's religion.
