What is it these conservatives are conserving?
The privileges of the undeserving
Who really do those so religious seek to save?
Themselves from doubt to be brave about the grave

As some become deceived so some come deceivers
The proles play their roles in this farce willingly
Because of the fear that gnaws at these believers
That what they are afraid of is to be free

Born free with a voice to become a slave by choice?
I would live for love nor have fear silence me
Ploughshares into swords to obey the overlords?
Some refuse come not to but I choose to be

Never mind the people forever may they sleep
The sharp end of the steeple shepherds the sheep
But some of us becoming coming as we are
Come each one a someone each become a star

You've hit the nail on the head. Most sheeple are so tied up in religion that they can never be free. For those of us that have broken the bonds, we are forever beguiled for our impudence. If only they would know the freedom we possess, they too, could be free and our world would be a much better place for everyone.

You breached the pretences most want to live by so as to feel safe.

To excersise free will, your own, takes courage, most don't have, or you are to willingly too blind to see.

Almost all fairytales, begin with, Onces upon a time, and once upon a time, you'll be in the grave, no fairy tales there, but too late to live all that you could have been or wanted to do, for the sake of pretensions and fear, the same, therin lies the true sin.
Great write lance most reflective, bless ya!

If this isn't a "pep talk" nothing is! 'Gets the mind reeling! I sense a crescendo mounting in third verse.


Love ya!
