What is this space we say we need
and violently refuse to cede
Our bodies willingly we’ll bleed
if our words they fail to heed
Seeking love with heart sincere
a bloodied child sheds a tear
Our cause is just, the course won’t veer
such hypocrites, we have no peer
From global wars to marriage spats
righteousness wears white hats
And just like hissing alley cats
soon throws itself upon the rats
They say we live an age of reason
apparently there has been treason
But let us wait another season
before removing ego’s lesion
Religious leaders take such pride
in claiming God is on their side
As human passions they seek to hide
in fear the flock finds they lied
If all is fair in love and war
then our poor world will heal no sore
And children raised on local lore
will also rot at the core
