« Should We Inquire of the Dead or the Living? (Updated Note) | Main | Maitreya's 'Strained' Teachings on Religion and Other Stuff »

Life is Not That Long

If you wake up
Ready to fight
Over things people say,
Over what you think is right …
Why?

If you hate the creationist
Or the evolutionist
Because they’re weird
And need to be dissed …
Why?

My two cents:
Both groups are wrong;
But that’s not going
To be my song.
Why?

Because …
Life is hard enough
And …
It’s not that long.

And when it comes time
For me to know
All the things
I’d like to know
I’ll just say thank you
For the show
I had no idea.

Jesus taught love
Jesus taught peace
Turn the other cheek
Strife must cease
That’s good enough,
Good enough for me
I don’t have to fight
For something I believe.

Life is not that long.

(However, if someone is a charlatan and means to deceive and genuinely hurt people, I’m going to say something, but in love as best I can. If I screw up somewhere along the way … I’m just a man … it’s okay to be wrong. Life is not that long.)
