If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
Are you "quotin'" here, or did this brilliance come directly from yourself????
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Christian now does mean a political leaning, default birthright, an adjective grossly overused, a philosophy, a world view. So many unjust acts are done in the name of religion and Christianity is one of these.
ReplyDeleteThe word Christian has become an object to throw around when it is to one's convenience or excuse for doing the unjust while making oneself feel righteous.
Yah -- that one came from my own brain, while writing a chapter for my book last Thursday. I was actually surprised when it came out.
