If life is but a canvas
Paint me blue and grey
The sky, she never cared
For other colours anyway
If God is but the dealer
Let me go all in
Gamble on your brothers
Canonize them if you win
If love is but a calling
A disturbance of the peace
Must we handle tension
If so sweet is the release
If I am but a minstrel
Your hand shall be my aid
Blessed be the discord
In the almighty serenade
Holy are the broken
Yet tainted is their name
Must we rush to vilify
Who sculpts the human frame
If Jesus dined with lepers
With taxmen and with sluts
With mercy, we unlock the door
The bigot firmly shuts
Hail Mary, Allah, Krishna
Charles Manson, Forrest Gump
Confucius, Buddha, Beelzebub
Jim Jones or Donald Trump
Obey the autocratic
Betray your moral grounds
Pay them your respects, or else
They'll feed you to the hounds
