I Don't Know

I don't know if I was made from God's hands,
But I know my father isn't a good man.
I don’t know if Jesus really rose again,
But I know these Christians can’t see their sins.
I don’t know what’s history, propaganda or a myth,
But I know there was some shit that I must've missed.
I don’t know what to do with strength,
But I know it’s a mistake to use strength to dominate.
I don’t know what beauty is for,
But I don’t respect anyone who uses it to manipulate.
I don’t know what it means to be ‘great’,
But I know it’s a win when we stop the hate.
I don’t know what’s the point of stubborn debate,
But I know that dialogue can probably change this world's fate.
I don’t if Eurydice was a real lady,
But I know a lady I would die for.
I don’t know about this fight,
But I know I’d run through the night
Just to go home to her.
I don’t know about myself,
But I know I’d sacrifice everything I’ve built for someone else.
I don’t know how this country became like this,
But I know that mindful change is worth the risk.
I don’t know why we can’t all come together to work to be better,
But I sure as shit know how we got so divided.
I don’t know if there is one ‘true’ God or not,
But I know there are 4,000 different Gods people currently believe in.
I don’t know about the Mother Marry,
But I know my christian mother’s drinking was scary,
And her dogma is terrifying.
I don't know why these Christian’s can’t admit shit,
But a part of me wishes they’d do confessions.
Maybe admitting it out loud helps us learn our lessons?
I don’t know if it’s:
The Jews,
The Catholics,
The Christians,
The Pagans,
The Atheist,
The Agnostic,
Or the Muslims
That are being honest . . .
All I know is that their faith looks like a drug,
And that Jesus would probably give everyone they hate a hug.
I don't know if I was made from God's hands,
But I know my father isn't a good man.
I don’t know if Jesus really rose again,
But I know these Christians can’t see their sins,
Because they believe they’ve already been ‘forgiven’,
So they never search within.
I don’t know if I know anything,
But I do know that I know nothing.
Isn’t life so/a
funny/tragedy?
