Looking Beyond The Mark

Looking Beyond The Mark

Give us Barabbas and crucify the truth!
Save our holy pleasures and justice be aloof.
Turn off the light and leave us in the dark,
Again; our focus is looking beyond the mark.

Knowledge is our enemy and comfort is our quest,
Someone do it for us! we don't past the test.
Who dares inquire and question our integrity?!
We are not liars; we were oppressed you see.

Tradition of the fathers justifies it all,
They never made mistakes; so we are standing tall.
Our companion is our pride; you just step aside!
We're going to live in bliss, behold self-righteousness.

Lot of questioning and contempt in this one Jim, I get and agree with the sentiments...especially concerning establishments of politics and power but self righteousness is a killer of fairness and compassion in all walks of life...people say...think of the positives...I say it is thinking about the negatives that brings about change, positives never really work for all...nice write ?
