Reason for Mankind
Lord,
why are we here?
Are we here to pretend
when they ask us questions,
Are we here to defend
our historical position,
Are we here to resent
those that feed us fiction,
Are we here to repent
at the feet of civilization?
Or are we here to protest?
Are we here to forgive?
Are we here to digest
what they're willing to give?
Lord,
are we here to cry?
When they hate us,
are we to oblige?
Should we instead abide
when they're throwing stones
and be silent till they condone?
Lord,
Are we here to die?
