Another polished, choreographed performance;
another prophet, he spreads the word.
Another syndicated TV spectacular;
another shepherd, he preaches to the herd.
Another ‘honest’ man performs holy miracles;
another blind man again able to see.
Another cripple, he casts away his crutches;
another sinner is cleansed and free.
Another White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant;
a member of God’s chosen race.
Another shallow racist bigot,
behind a reconstructed face.
Another priest abusing children;
another priesthood closing ranks.
Another broken human being,
still told to give God their thanks.
Don’t tell me your God is watching;
that my salvation is at risk.
I’d rather make my own mistakes;
I’m a born-again atheist.
Don’t lie to me, I’m not convinced;
try coercion, I will resist.
I’m no willing victim in your games;
I’m a born-again atheist.
Another woman’s rights eroded,
in the name of God and life.
Another child condemned to poverty;
another beaten, cowered wife.
Another war fought for religion;
another explanation why
another religion’s creed is flawed,
and their followers have to die.
Another day dawns without redemption.
Another year without rebirth.
Another set of laws to be obeyed,
before the messiah returns to earth.
Another lifetime of broken promises;
another litany of lies.
Another generation serving penance,
while the scales still cloud their eyes.
