Rickey K. Hood.
Take My Hand, Walk With Me
And you shall know the truth
Incomprehensible Concepts
Incomprehensible concepts
Develop for the docile mind
Ask questions, seek answers
Knock over ancient beliefs
To see what you can find
Popular men of enduring fame
They’re call God’s chosen
Saints/ Prophets/ Messengers/ God incarnate
Whatever!
We line them up to our like or dislike
And to them we pledge our
Endeavor
We must take from them their concepts of God
Living according to their truths
As they see it
Or be threatened with damnation
Living in fear of hellish whips
Because of the way another may see it
A loving God who tortures His worshiper
Is a contradiction to me?
A Merciful God who shows no mercy
Is a curiosity to see?
There must be more to the message sent
To make sense of these
Incomprehensible concepts
To the Beat
Ignorance is bliss
Let us dance in the night
Beneath a moonless sky
Blind to the world
Near the edge of the pit
Let the music rage
Fill our hearts and souls
As we dance violently
Near the edge of the pit
Echoes call out to us
“Watch your step, watch your step”
Disembodied voices saying nothing worth while
As we dance in time near the edge of the pit
What joy it is to be free
Twirling, twirling in the darkened sky
Free of the cares of the world
Slipping unnoticed into the pit of oblivion
