Black Poetry : I was lied to (Part One)

[Virgil]

I was lied to
The righteous will sing it, but not live it
I've been lied to
They shame you to death, to bring you in
We've been lied to
Priests say its not a sin to sex boys
They've been lying too
I fornicate with some girls, but that's a sin
That's a lie too
There being a right religion
May be a lie too
Just follow your heart
And if its pure, it'll guide you
But most are tainted
Some get status and run with it
Thinking they're right because they're opinionated
I see the strides they make sometimes
Manufactured thoughts arise
Easily done to justify the misinterpretations' size
Thinking that they're good people
I can't wait to see
But they couldn't be so judgmental and
possibly be
And what if Jesus isn't white
Now do you think its right
If any one of us would view him in a different light
The truth is that this stuff isn't literal
The truth's in the message because it is spiritual
Yet still I'm lied to
