New Religion

Normally I write love songs,
About girls scorned,
Boys wronged,
And love torn apart.

Today is different,
I met a man,
He asked me "Did I thank God?",
Cause my people made it so far,
From cotton fields to superstars,
The world is yours just ask God.

I asked him was it the same God,
The Nazi and the Klan's God,
Love thy neighbor,
Unless that neighbor is gay, God,

Oh my God, Why God?
Did you bring this heathen to me?
Tight jeans, bright eyes,
12 year old face,
Is this a test of my faith?
Thoughts of the stranger,
Using God to put the youth in danger.

The hatred and confusion,
In collusion with the institution,
Of religion,
Turning God into a villain,
Making many question the existence,
Of God's divine persistence,
And well for his children,
That is if God is male,
But it doesn't matter,
If it all fails.
