Analysis of Divine Dirty Secrets
As you defecate on your microphone
On the pulpit of harlotry
Reason with violence, you're in a delusion
A slave to a knaves history:
The Book may be torn, though holy and worn
There's nothing that Faith can't askew
Men, I said Men have a way, to lie and betray
Each decade they see things anew
For years they enslave, in secret conclaves
They edit what should be left pure
Until centuries, when millions agree
That you, they, and I need a cure
Then they will fight, about which way is right
If Blood should be pressed, cold or stirred
Then they'll make war, on pulpits and shores
Religion can be so absurd
A sacred divine, a woman in time
Can be either a Saint, or a Whore
Take Magdalene, at once with the men
Who in time even Popes abhorred
Bend or divide, transform, then confide
Words are the Guardians keys
Tear it apart, Mankind from the start
Traded guilt, and placed it on Eve
Perchance when the Fog, one day reveals God
Hates Secrets as much as we do
But until that day, let silence allay
Each to his own point of view.
