Black Poetry : I was lied to (Part One)

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

 

you know what? what a coincidence cuz i just found out yesterday that i have been lied to... bravo, nice flow- WE'Ve BEEN LIED TO!!

 

lying, its the american way.... nice piece V.

 

Mmmmm...you know when you have reached a high point in ya understanding when you can call out lies by their rightful name
nice one Virgil

 

Writing for the devil it seems
aiming your little light beam
at what is the negative
you should write more balanced
what is the positive side
your not blind
I know you can see
so write as if your walking
the balance beam, you have the right
and the left but what matters is the way
the strainght line , its really the best way

 

Max...who's writing for the "devil" and "aiming" at "what is the negative" when you are being "negative" with your comments Hes not BEING negative hes citing that lies are there and he refuses to become a part of it...but thats my humble opinion. In the hood i grew up in we would say..."check ya self, be fo ya wreck ya self" my brotha.

 

this is a wonderful
flow...helping to
make a lot of peek
see yes we have
been lied to
wonderful piece
thank you
Peace

Trini my sistah
^5 to you..
Max was down right
rude
Peace

 

Felt your message Virgil...

Don't mind the message from Max...He did the same to my work...
But as of last night, he was banned from the site...just in case
you didn't know.


Nice flow...
