Never speak ill of the deceased by God's followers 'tis said
But God doesn't judge the living he judges the dead
And that his followers only judge the living does seem a bit odd
So who should we believe his flock or their God.

The teachings of theologians doesn't sound very clear
I am getting a lot of mixed messages here
The God they believe in and to whom they do pray
Than them looks at life in a different way.

The God they believe in tells them not to judge
And against those they dislike not to hold a grudge
And their grudges they nurture till the day they die
But then show me the one who once never did lie.

When God says judge not and thou shalt not be judged his followers him do not heed
Yet we reap our bad crops when we sow our bad seed
Between the teachings of God and the actions of his followers great differences i see
This all seems so very confusing to me.

You do not have the right to judge their God to them say
But they twist his thinking to suit their own way
Well versed in their religions their bibles they've read
But they judge the living and their God judges the dead.
