Love your Neighbor
How could something start so pure
the epic fairytale
Turn into such madness
A crusade through holy hell
I wouldn't call it funny
not comical quite yet
I'd say it leans towards crazy
Sinful, yes, I bet
Your morals, rest assured
are lined at heaven's gate
along with all your bombs and guns
your submarines and tanks
At least they others have it right
teaching unmolested truth
of why the others have it wrong
of why they never do
Either side wages war
'til either God knows when
Both sides never failto count
the hell-bound player's sins
I'll pray for you while burning
your wrongful peoples' book
and hope that my God turns his head
and just forgets to look
Nannee nanee boo boo
I don't like the way you think
So I'll crash my plane into your work
and blow up all my things
I is for the idiots
that play on either side
The ones who don't know anything
becasue they'll never try
R is for the right
which we all think that we are
But you don't know what you don't know
and so from that we're far
O is for the sound we make
when we learn something new
Something we might have strived to learn
before we speak the "truth"
N is for never
which we're never s'posed to say
but N is also for neglect
because we say it anyway
Y is for the dreamers
Lennon, here's to you
For those who ask what we're not taught
what is really truth?
At least we know that God approves
his smile lights the world
and reflects the light of hand grenades
and other weapons hurled
Love your neighbor
and do unto others as you would
so long as they live and pray
in your same neighborhood
