My Texan Reckoning



My Texan Reckoning

Has faith departed, then you had none
If you have no faith; then reason is the only one
Calamitous events that shock and shake with ferocity
If fear drives then you’ve neither faith nor rational philosophy

There’s your mind and it decides which way you wind
Prayer does fulfill many of mankind
Atheism’s the answer for those where reason is the absolute
The rest reside in no man’s land and may reach for the Absolut

D’you consider there’s only one way?
Then humanity will whup your ass every day
I’ve tried to be an atheist because my mind holds sway
But I can’t because I have a faith that I can’t explain away

I get angry and mad and declare faith a croc!
I resent religion because to me it’s a dictatorial lock
On earth reason is in command and faith can drive moral courage
Our tangible savior is sublime human nature
