"I don't Know
We Assume.
We Assert.
Some Presume
That it hurts.
We say things that make no sense
teach them to our kids
these things often on the fence
it forces some to stay hid.
telling people it's the truth
when we have proof that it's not
spouting crap like goofs
and it only makes a topic thats hot.
denying basic rights
based on morals outdated by thousands of years
denying science and fact
like they have plugs in their ears.
Why? Why do they not listen?
it's only human
they don't want to be wrong
fear of annihilation that outdates truman
In that book
This figure is so shady
just take a look
they worship one who drowns babies
they assume and assume
that it's all true
that they will face doom
if they do as i do
and what do I do?
I admit I do not know the full answers
so ill ask you
where does your mother go when she dies of cancer?
all you gotta say
is that you have no clue
and not try to convey
something you can't verify as true
when you talk of something that has no proof
and fool people into believing it
thats making stuff up, not telling the truth
its called lying, no other way of conceiving it.
remember this statement.
give them the truth.
tell them you dont know, not mental enslavement
don't lie to youth.
We, as the human race
musn't assume the unknown
it is a disgrace
to prentend we know the unknowable.
The worst part is that most of us believe it without question
doubt is seen as sin, science as satanic
different ways, cleaner, reasonable ways, are met with aggression
it puts us in panic
they even make money from it
somehow the all powerful has pockets to fill
this is where they have really done it
unconsiously lying has become their skill.
Miseducation
violence
stories of creation
the questions are silenced
The truth hurts
but I am not born broken and in need of saving.
you say we started from a man made of nothing but dirt?
I come to change that, for your rules are not a steel engraving.
Please. Fabricated truth is not the truth. It is for those who lack the courage or intellectual honesty to be able to say "I don't know". We don't know why we got here, nor what happens after we die. Dont act as if we do.
Nothing's wrong when nothing's true.
