THEY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE
They would have you believe
The two are irreconcilable
And obvious, sworn enemies
That they are infallible
They would have you believe
The two are contradictory
Without common destinies,
Beginnings, or the end-story
They would have you believe
The two are opposites
When they form the same tree
And from the very same roots
They would have you believe
The two must war inevitably
But is it God or country?
Is it big business or bounty?
They would have you believe
The two must go their ways
Without collaborating
Until the last day.
They would have you believe
All manner of misconceptions
By which you are deceived
So seek the high corrections.
They would have you believe
You must fight in their ranks
When the little world heaves
On propaganda and think-tanks.
They would have you believe
They are on God's side
When they are long-straying,
Desperate, and full of lies.
They would have you believe
You can't live without them
You must fear, you must grieve,
Without their assistance.
They would have you believe
Only they are right in these fights
And only they deserve reprieve
With all the earth provides
They would have you believe
All manner of mis-guided thought
All manner of the un-perceived
About which they have no insight
They would have you believe
Their interpretations of creed
Though they think un-clearly
Muddied by lust and greed.
They would have you believe
They recite the word for you
While hidden up their sleeves
Lie substitutes far from true
They would have you believe
There is no difference
Between prophetic victory
And their worldly influence
They would have you believe
You must follow their leaders,
Their laws, the lies preconceived,
A renegade band of cheaters.
They would have you believe
They are on God's side,
When discord is their specialty
And they don't care if you die.

DEAR PEOPLE
There are signs
In the simplest wonders,
From the sunshine
To the heat pent under.
There are signs
In the whole world itself,
From its oceans
To proof of living hell.
There are signs
In the clouds floating by
And the end-times
We would rather deny.
There are signs
In the whole creation,
Throughout its skies,
Even earth's rotation.
There are signs
Every day and night,
All of the time,
Faint and distant star-light.
There are signs
Everywhere you look,
If you are not blind,
Dear People of the Book.
