Is my salvation assured? (raw unfinished)
I have seen the answer to my prayers
Only to know it came too late
I have felt the spirit
In very temporal things
The only thing I know for sure
Is that the lights go out
The only thing I hope
Is that I like what I see
When they come back up
I have heard someone say "give me a child until the age of seven and I'll tell you what he's going to believe".
Allah
Buddah
I am
Jesus
Nobody
I believe beauty
To be feminine in nature
I believe love to be
The constant struggle
Some see life as passing phase
But right now
Right here
I fear it's all that is
So I race it to the finish line
I heard someone say "knowledge is an upside down funnel. The small opening at the top that you believe is the goal, only leads to another upside down funnel".
Freud
Nietzche
Plato
Orwell
Dr Phil
I see prophets
Who lead us away
I see the core of us
As the road home
Some go forth and seek knowledge
I let it find it's way
Here to me
I'm not an intelligent man
But perhaps less afraid.

i believe most of this too. And i also believe that knowledge makes us free although it is always limited. On the other hand, prophets of any kind tie us down. I think morals should be independent of prophets and religion. then we can be "less afraid" as you say.
