permaculture

[Keith Johnson <keithdj@mindspring.com>]

From a band, Brighter Shade, I never heard of until I poked around online:

Divine Ignorance

God doesn't know that you're a loser
God can't think in those terms
That's a point of view for an abuser
That's bacteria trying to scrub away its germs

God doesn't know that you're a weirdo
You don't have to live like me
That's a T-shirt, ring or your hairdo
That's a blind man with sunglasses swearing he can see

You don't know what you've never given thought
The wind blows questions through your brain
I can't show every detail of my lifetime

I must learn to live with my mistakes
I must curb my reactions when my willpower breaks
In turn, my someday I can look into your face and see your true blue you 
through sheets of labels that I wear and burn down every thoughtless 
slander that you've had the strength to bear and see past miles of abuse 
to find a person standing there...
Forgive me if I stare
I cannot help my stare
It's clear

God doesn't know that you're an asshole
You're angry with just cause
That's a push too far for your soul
That's a total disregard for the simplest human laws
