GOD, Part 3

I don't believe in hunger
while the fat feed their face.
I don't believe that peace and hope
are lost without a trace.
I can't believe all I do
reflects upon my race.
But I believe in God.

I don't believe that politics
can get us very far.
I don't believe in texting
while driving a car.
I can't believe good women
find good men in a bar.
But I believe in God.

I don't believe the worst plagues
come from monkeys and bugs.
I don't believe my hometown's
a breeding ground for thugs.
I can't believe the days I spend
leaning on these drugs.
But I believe in God.

I don't believe any girl
would be this boy's wife.
I don't believe I'm safer
with a gun or a knife.
I can't believe the methods
people find to end life.
But I believe in God.

I don't believe anyone who
resists being free.
I don't believe the movie stars
are better than me.
I can't believe some people
only trust what they can see.
But I believe in God.

I don't believe intercourse
can cure my every pain.
I don't believe scenes
surging through my brain.
I can't believe how many years
I've been chasing this train.
But I must
believe in God.
