LOGOS
From the scrolls of world confusion comes this gift of Greek philosophy
Logos; what is really true, as opposed to what is only imagined to be
Perhaps the hardest thing to convince those of religion’s bent to comprehend
Is that if we uphold society’s superstition our nightmare days will never end
For irregardless of what we believe, what is true remains but the same
And if we accept as fact what the priest says we have only ourselves to blame
It would seem true faith is based on evidence of what happens in our reality
For I find it easier not to be such a liar if I only believe what works for me
And as years of tears merge into darkness past I have uncovered this simple clue
That the majority of my faith is based on what I no longer believe to be true
Now it seems this sore travail has been given to us children of vexation’s sea
That we should learn from the sins of our fathers how it is we wish not to be
And it appears self-righteous preachers and educators never really quite understood
A Goddamn thing about the reason why five-inch nails went in Roman wood
