The word of man

To those that abide only, learn to question

By Michael FergerPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

So let it be written, so let it be done

Pass this message from son to son

Let the daughters learn it too

Now everyone knows what to do

Don’t question the written or spoken word of man

Trustworthy our kind is, it is all part of the plan

Histories pages written from one perspective

Don’t ask, abide by the words, remember to be objective

Follow, follow, trust me you are not sheep

Just do as is written and earn your keep

After all you can trust what is written at all times

We promise, we promise we are committing no crimes

A change in system, whatever for?

Think of yourself, don’t care for the poor

Inquisitive nature, is often considered wrong

Look at the revolutionists and their forgotten song

After all the future has always been shaped by those who obey

Listen to the written word, who cares about new ideals or what they say

After all Einstein, Bell, Edison and Benz, to name a few

They listened and obeyed, they knew what to do

Oh the hypocrisy of their ways

Working on new ideas for days and days

Challenging what has been tradition for years and years

Please forgive their horror, please shed no tears

If you trust in the words written above

You need to think about the things you love

Because what is written above is really not true

Question everything, if it is the last thing you do
