it used to be,
I had wisdom.. & the anger to perish my victims when risen
but my temper was softened by endless descriptions
of hard times & marred lives, when the tide rose up to my elbow
they were overtaken by waves of sadness, in turn i felt low
my lack of intercession, had 'em strapped to depression like velcro,
it caused my heart to melt slow.. I didn't want it to be
but I allowed it to happen cuz it was more than the trees,
the grass, and the nature that made this world good..
I granted freedom.. so the world would be like the world could
sometimes my lip curled up, as things went wrong quick
but I knew, they would be fixed by conscience & strong wit
they'd come back better, unfettered & strict to the letter
my knowledge created college...it equipped them forever
in trouble, they'd fall in the game, they were always the same..
suffered the result of their choices & kept calling my name
i pushed them aside; all knowing, never shook by the lies
they couldn't find happiness.. so instead of looking inside,
they came to me with no bravery, & wouldn't face defeat
but hated me & blamed me with slavery as i saved the least
of the pitiful creatures for another day & turned the other cheek
i could've destroyed them.. but why make my brothers weak?
well thats how it was, i knew they wouldnt last from my vision
of the future for humanity.. so i stood fast in decisions
they called me omnipotent, when neighbors were watching
it didn't fool. i knew their behavior was flopping
just the other week.. i was cursed out by so many people
they used my name in vain & hadn't noticed the evil
that was creeping amongst themsevles, lungs were depressing
as they breathed my air.. which never stunned their expression
they just grew more vile, in denial of their sinful acts
unknowing, they were at my whim, as i grew grim & trimmed the axe
