Contrast

Contrast

Tell her to pray when she’s starving

Tell her to pray when her baby’s hungry and dying

Suspend reality when the gun’s at her head

Declare she’s resting in peace when she’s dead

Declare creation and deny evolution

Soothe your incredulity and recommend intelligent design

Pretend that virology is a seasonal gremlin

Imprison reason and look at life thru’ a pretty prism

Faith clashing with reality

Makes for an uncomfortable physicality

You’ve a mind that shouts doubt

Do you cast salt over your shoulder and knock on wood?

Superstition’s in between reason and faith

Calms nerves whilst pretense is its worth

A world of contrasts

Minds still wanting when it comes to Aristotle’s mirth
