Wolves in Cheap Clothing
When men claim to be the voice of the Most High
I tend to question authority,
(Remember Waco or Jonestown?)
Wolves in cheap clothing tend try to control the masses,
Yet many from different classes fall for their trickery,
Like sheep following blindly to the slaughter.
Some religions seem to have put a negative spin
On their founder’s teachings,
Making up senseless rules somewhere along the way,
They become corrupt like government officials or politicians,
Brainwashing those not strong enough to think for themselves.
Thou shall not kill, let’s look at history if you will,
Remember the Inquisition? The Crusades? 9/11?
Those Holy Wars fought to spread belief to foreign lands,
Killing on command,
Fighting for a “cause” to get into heaven.
Yet the wolves in cheap clothing keep pulling the strings,
Some disguised in robes committing crimes,
Accessorized in ten thousand dollar suits asking for more,
Living like kings and queens because it seems…
Their god comes in the color green.
There are noble people out there,
Acting in good faith for the sake of humankind
And that is a good creed, helping out those in need,
Because we need them during these difficult times.
I don’t care how you identify or what faith you are
I don’t care what class, color or race you may be,
As long as you’re decent and good toward others,
Then we’ll meet in a place of peace and harmony.
