Faith in the Blind

I'll do as I do and not as you say

I'll hate this and will hate that, even as I pray

The flag that I fly inspires great pain

But I don't see that, I only see reign

Conservative ways leave very little room

So minds can stay dark and nicely entombed

We cling to our past and shun what comes next

As long as it's written in clear Bible text

Take what we need and align, as required

To contrive a meaning that we so desire

Using key words and symbols and signs

To keep us together within our own kind

We'll meet and smile and eat and shake hands

And conspire to send others back to their home lands

We don't want inclusion, we don't want to grow

We only love that, which we already know

No facts will dissuade us from what we believe

For faith in the blind is ever more sweet
