Can We Handle The Truth?

 
Freedom is to gun point,
as Christianity is to sword's blade
History has no place to anoint
regardless of how they were spread
The outcome, pretty  much the same:
Bloody hell - what a shameful truth!

Why do we get mad and upset
when we receive what others get;
have we forgotten the golden rule?
"Do unto others what  you
want others do unto you,"
and the popular law on physics:
"For every action, there's an equal,
and opposite reaction."
Then, there's this old adage from the holy book:
"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth"
If we follow this according to its context,
sooner or later...
we'll all be blind and toothless!
Can we handle this sad truth?

When we conquer other nations
in the name of the cross:
they embrace our faith,
and lost their freedom.
How about if we conquer them
in the name of freedom?
Their faith would still be intact but,
can you honestly call that freedom?
You may agree or disagree
depending on which side you're on,
but for a conquered soul
nothing is sweeter than
flying freely as a bird...
and that's true freedom!

I guess by now Christianity and Freedom
are two different things; that's why
there's separation of church and state.
But try to look at them closely -
they have some similarities:
dark secrets and more dark secrets!

The "Dead Sea Scrolls" revealed the truth
that was hidden for so long; how many
more scrolls do we need to find
to discover what the church is hiding?
Sooner or later the truth will come to light,
but do we rather not see daylight
for fear of releasing Pandora's wrath?

We try to keep our freedom intact
by spreading it among nations on earth -
fighting tyranny and slavery
sometimes resorting to
clandestine operations,
and other extreme measures:
known as "top secret missions"
just to hit our marked targets!
Farther down the road,
as years passed by
those secrets
are secrets no more,
for we believe that the truth
will set us free.
The question is:
can we handle the TRUTH?
