The unfaith of Lord Daniel
The unfaith of Lord Daniel
I believe in God; the Father, the Son and the Spirit
But I don’t give all my trust to this God above
I believe to the Father Almighty
But still all the troubles He can’t convince me
Yes creator of heaven and earth
And all there within: the Angels and the Fallen;
I believe in Jesus Christ
But too ideal, ‘man’ cannot follow His own ways
Though the only “Son, our Lord”
But look what I did: hung Him on a Tree
Even if he was conceived by the Spirit
But who knows if this is only a perfect fraud
And made to be born of the Virgin Mary
Therefore, He is purely human like you and me;
I believe He suffered under Pontius Pilate
From the crime and only death would be the ransom
So He was crucified, died and was burred
To the mysterious grave
I believe He descended to the Dead
The same story I read from Dante who visited Hell
On the third day He rose again and ascended to Heaven
But another story that brings no meaning to me
I believe He seated at the right hand of the Father
While watching the killings for His Name;
I believe in the Spirit the other person in the Trinity
But the unseen, the result of Ancient Philosophy
I believe in the Holy Catholic Church
But poisoned my ignorance and leave me hungry and thirsty;
I believe in the communion of the Saints
But pay homage to the Holy Tomb and Sacred Stones
I believe in the forgiveness of Sins
But in my tongue I keep the Devil the “Other Theologian”
I believe in the resurrection of the body
But bring them again into captivity chained without dignity
I believe in life everlasting
But I keep on dying, lying and pretending;
Amen,
My creed with heart that praises and head who curses
Amen…
