Panopticon - A Message to the Missionary
The institution of your faith
is not worth dying for,
not worth living for,
worth crying for.
You want us on our knees not
only to pray but to be your slaves,
we cannot fight when we can't stand.
You've locked us in a cage,
taught us to be afraid to be free.
We are told of visions
by those who cannot see,
we are told to listen by
those who cannot hear.
We are given salvation
based on terror and fear,
denied this life for a day dream
in red letters and gold trimmed pages.
Gold trimmed pages!
One nations ethnocentric perception
of god cannot be the only end.
Your internecine is supported by scripture,
it's the only credibility your willing to lend:
Lies to support lies...
