The Kingdom
of God
And violent men take it by force
I know you’ve heard this of course
But I think you’re missin’ the point of
This Joint
Why must we be violent
Shall the meek not inherit the earth?
Did Jesus die for injustice
Or peace?
So that strife would live
Or so that it would cease?
Why are we raising Hell
When we need to be raising our children right so that they
can
Stay out of jail
And get a good education
And Grow up and be somebody
Instead of just dreamin’
Plottin’ and scheming
And really being violent
Instead of havin’ integrity
Maybe society needs to be integrated
With a cup of righteousness and
A pinch of purity
And it might bring clarity to the epidemic of Ignorance
And defeat the root of sin
That has takin’ over our
Friends, countrymen, and kin
We need a new beginning
A new birth if you will.
I understand how Elder Bernice King feels
It is the will of the Lord
That we learn to live right
Truly fight
The Good fight of Faith
If we fight with our fist
We’ve just missed
A chance to demonstrate the Love of Jesus Christ
The real weapons of mass destruction
Are the words of the True and living God
Grab your tech nine and your sword, and put on your ephod
