Identity Crisis of Faith

The man had gone to market, to buy a diamond ring. The man who never noticed, that he was not a king. He choose the brightest sparkle, a diamond made of glass. The setting bright and gold, was crafted out of brass. The man spent all his money, the jeweler was a cheat. He told the man that royals, wore diamonds on their feet. The man went proudly walking, inside his shoe the ring. And no one ever told him, that he was not a king. - Henry Creedlow


I quit the Catholic church when I was 17
I quit the United States Church when I was 28
I quit the Corporate Church when I was 32
I quit the Self Church when I was 35
I quit the Woman's Church when I was 38
I quit the Culture Church when I was 39
I quit the Human Church when I am 40
A weary General fighting a battle seldom understood
No answers in the works of humanity, no solutions to be had
The fear of being loved is the fear of being blind
I realize now that's something I can never let go
Deeper, stronger more solid is the covenant in my mind
Letting slip the ego that imprisons almost all
Compromises can only be made when they exclude the soul
The only thing left to lose is a trifle and a breeze
Because it is an identity built with blind ignorance
That is why I’ll never quite the church of my girl
But it is every reason why I am quitting you


-R.I.P. The past and the present
Happy Birthday to the future!

No answers in the works of humanity - very nice! That is a powerful and true statement. I'm writing that down somewhere.
