I wonder what it's all about;
traditional answers fill me with doubt;
Who was Jesus anyway?
Should I or how should I pray?

Death's mysteries frighten;
while the age lines tighten;
The missionaries all disagree,
as how to give me the third degree.

I don't think I have a problem trusting God,
but I do mistrust man's desparate facade;
so many snake oil salesman with their inside exclusive,
to contradictory truths to make knowledge elusive.

I want to do right and have peace of mind,
and I don't think it's so easy to find;
for Jesus, Buddha and other prophets too,
they rejected the mainstream before they Knew.
