A (Poetic) Reflection on Relativism

To be a Liar and Christian in America
One must only pretend that it's right
Everything is misunderstanding
Truth cannot have a bitter bite

Reinterpret the lines with the times, the place, and me
As ocean molds, bowing, to the sand
The past has been wrong before - I was born this way -
A solid heat will melt this land

Control and power dance as twin dragons stealing fire
A deadly dance threatening each turn
Presence implies purpose, and purpose approval
Let's sit back to watch the world burn

Why can't you let me be as I was made to appear?
We're not so different, you and me
You want truth and I want lies, but it's all just talk,
Freedom of speech, equality

To be a Liar and Christian in America
Take the Bible's word as you take mine
Trade your pen for a pencil and make sure it's fast
As we erase that thin fine line.
