Do you really think
all you’re here to do is sit in a pew
or a cubicle zoo?
Lay on the couch?
Drift through life?
Lie to your spouse
About who you really are?
Do you really think
God is found in a place
Other than your heart?
That there’s only one way,
And if you don’t follow it, you’re condemned?
That we’re to follow a book of rules?
Do you really think God thinks we’re fools?
Do you really think
Going to school gives you an education?
That it’s not just indoctrination?
To live someone else’s life
Pay your taxes
Buy shit you don’t need
Paint on a smile
Do you really think
If you thought for yourself,
You’d have the same friends?
Would they reject you, shame you
Talk about you behind their hands?
Call you lost, call you crazy
Because you’re not one of them?
You are here to do something great;
Something important,
something brave.
You are a whole human with a wild soul;
A work of cosmic art.
You are free.
You are no one’s slave.
