    Story Behind the Song
    i think this was the 2nd 'teen angst' poem i ever wrote. i was in history class, and we were learning about all of these horrors done in the name of christ, and i started thinking about all the untold stories that don't make it into history books.

    Lyrics
    i heard some sad news today
    about that young man pete
    he decided to take his life today
    the note read, "god forgive me"

    i saw pete's family today
    they suffered a twisting pain
    they wept for their loved one's life today
    then for his soul they prayed...

    god(s) are looking down on/at you
    god(s) has/have pity for your soul(s)
    they/he didn't/never want(ed) that/those book(s) of lies
    some torture used to pay the toll

    at times like these the christians wonder
    what's wrong with the world today
    they close their eyes and they think of jesus
    (quickly) begging as they pray

    i heard some more sad news today
    about that young man paul
    the christians' pressure took his life today
    they're unaware they caused his fall

    at times like these the clear ones wonder
    what's wrong with the world today
    they try to make the blind ones see
    help is not in what they pray

    i saw paul's bible today
    and i suffered a twisting pain
    i wept for its owner's life today
    and then i threw the weapon away.
