You Gave Me Life You gave me life So I could die Stacked the deck against me And tricked me into believing That everything good was only by your grace And every bad turn was solely on me You sit atop of your mountain High in the sky And allow the massacre of millions upon millions of people Allowing man to wage war on one another Allowing innocent casualties of your choosing To be raped, butchered, pillaged, and dominated For reasons that somehow inspires more belief and devotion Cause behind every catastrophe lies a lesson A lesson about blind faith, Disingenuous convictions, Fanaticism and unreciprocated loyalty You gave me life To watch me suffer Gave my enemies all of the rich, prime soil And threw in my sweat to till his land and harvest his crops As he slowly beats me back to the dust from which I came You assured me that Heaven awaits me with open arms That hell will be filled with the transgressors That my sufferings will not be in vain But my oppressors are enjoying their Heaven right now They wear the fruits of their greed, treachery and wickedness As an badge of honor And use their status to enjoy celebrity and fame The tragic results of slavery, racism, and discrimination Has left me miles behind the starting line Burdened by the psychological weight Of 400 years of mental, physical and emotional lashes My tears have all dried up As my prayers continue to go unanswered You gave me life So I can die Burdened me with all the guilt that comes with everyday living For like all men, I too was born in sin You are the All knowing, All encompassing power Who has sentence so many to a life of misery and pain Allowing your children to be raped, butchered, massacred, and oppressed For reasons that sane minds will never understand Blessing us with brilliant theologians and biblical philosophers From every faith and denomination With an uncanny, and amazing ability to anesthetize Billions of minds, bodies, and souls With your holy words For everything good man experiences is only by your grace And every bad turn is either a testament to our lack of faith Or a spiritual test to make us stronger Allowing innocent casualties of your choosing To endure generational affliction and suffering For reasons that insanely inspires more belief and devotion Cause behind every catastrophe lies a lesson A lesson about blind faith, Disingenuous convictions, Fanaticism and unreciprocated loyalty
