Human - Slow Gherkin

You take an ounce of inspiration

You glimpse a pinhole of truth

You sully it beyond all recognition

That’s not God, that’s you

You know what they say about lies

And how they make baby Jesus cry

Think about that next time

You blame the evils of the world on those you choose to despise

You project a silhouette on a great big wall

Is that the only point of view?

We’re in your shadow waiting for it all to fall

That’s not God, that’s you

It’s not ours to decide

If God is cruel or kind

BUT YOU BETTER MAKE UP YOUR MIND

TO BELIEVE OR TO TAKE SIDES

Human

Lacerate and anoint our sores

Human

Invoke the martyrs as you make some more

Human

With your scriptures and your holy wars

Human

Human is all we are

Only the mistakes are ours
