Our Promised Lands

our world is one of doubt
that molests the unfortunate
and the weak because it can
while the rest of us drink cheer
in the comforts of our homes
and pay the tax man for the
privilege of thinking freely;
our souls have died a thousand
years before when the council
of councils gave us our beliefs,
creating a path on which we
could have never walked
before and it brought us all
here to all this promised land.
