Countz</a></span><br /><br />Today millions believe <br />All sorts of odd things<br />They look to the stars<br />Spirit guides and avatars<br /><br />Who’s to say who’s right or wrong? <br />Who are we to be jury and judge?<br />Can’t we all just try to get along?<br />Life’s too short to hold a grudge!<br /><br />Will we keep comin’ back as a priest or a quack<br />Or at least until we finally get more of the facts?<br />Who cares what we teach or how well we preach<br />If they don’t see a difference in the way we act?<br /><br />How many tracts do we have to try to sell?<br />Will we still go to heaven if we live like hell?<br />If there is a God, I wonder where He’s gone?<br />Can we be sincere and be sincerely wrong?<br /> <br />Can we live like the devil all week long <br />And dawn our halo and robe once a week? <br />Can we fight and bicker amongst ourselves<br />And expect others to turn the other cheek?<br /><br />Did we learn to love or did we learn to hate?<br />It may be hard to say; it may be hard to tell<br />Can we compensate when we pass the plate?<br />Just who is the saint and who is the infidel? <br /><br />How many tracts do we have to try to sell?<br />Will we still go to heaven if we live like hell?<br />If there is a God, I wonder where He’s gone?<br />Can we be sincere and be sincerely wrong?<br /><br />Did someone try to pull our wisdom tooth?<br />Who will tell the fool or the king the truth?<br />He’s wearing nothing but his birthday suit<br />Watch the news, do you need more proof?<br /><br />Should we live our petty lives <br />By the whim of the tea leaves?<br />How were the planets aligned <br />The night we were conceived?<br /><br />Is there anything sadder than <br />Climbing a ladder that’s leaning<br />Against the wrong wall?<br />Does it matter what we believe at all?<br /><br />What about the millions of men and women <br />Who sincerely believe that if they were given <br />Enough time they could achieve Godhood <br />And get to heaven by being good?<br /><br />It seems to me that there’s a pretty big difference<br />Between being in prison and complete deliverance<br />Between eternal damnation and eternal salvation<br />Who but Christ died for the whole wide nation?<br /><br />Wide is the gate that leads to destruction<br />It doesn’t take great powers of deduction<br />To deduce between the truth and fiction<br />Between consistency and contradiction<br /><br />Moses and Jesus did what they were told<br />The same holds true for the prophets of old<br />What did the Buddha ever do for me or you?<br />Did he offer to die to prove his love for you? <br /><br />It may be hard to say; it may be hard to tell<br />Just who is the saint and who’s the infidel?<br />How many tracts do we have to try to sell?<br />Will we still go to heaven if we live like hell?<br /><br />If there is a God, I wonder where He’s gone?<br />Does He even hear us when we sing our songs?<br />Can we be sincere and be sincerely wrong?<br />Can we be sincere and be sincerely wrong?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/497145057240675990-7818182449228704297?l=sincerelywrong.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stan C.
