There’s fluid in Daniel’s chest
He wheezes and coughs
All day
But it doesn’t stop him
He said
You don’t have to have religion to have faith

I went to the Easter mass
And I had to leave
Those people were crazy

Mubi was saying some men
Pray 3 4 5 times a day, even more
That would leave out time to help around the house
That’s pretty much the same as a Catholic’s alcohol addiction

Who is religion for?

For the adolescent males?
Grabbing the fattest part of the wheel
To keep steering us down the drainpipe?
They got me too

Where is love?
Where is empathy?
Babies
Family
Community
Friendship
Self-love

Like what the ****?

We are on a rolling ball in the middle of no-where?
Really.
Have you stopped and looked?

You don’t need religion to have faith.
That’s right

I have faith in my life
That it will go towards something right
That I represent that fight
As all life does
I’m part of it
And thank you for it
Thankyou for all of it
Thankyou
