Truths

What is the difference between better and right?

You’re in no way arrogant in your own sight,

Claim you’re not racist or hateful at all,

Yet you’ve got a monopoly on the Divine Light.

You’re so lucky to have been born so tall

On the shoulders of prophets who heard the Divine Call,

While others are left in the darkness of sin.

How grand you feel besides others, so small.

God favored your people since time did begin.

All other faiths are lies that may suck you in.

Pat yourself on the back, you’re one of a few

Who possess a real soul of Divinity within.

You’re not better, you’re just… better, and you always knew

That your religion is the only one, real and true.

For if that weren’t so, you’d have to stare into the night,

Or accept that your religion is right – for you.
