Age of Rhyme and Reason

Once upon a time, everything was fine
 According to tradition
 Then somewhere along the way, we all were led astray --
 So claims your admonition
 You close your mind and tell us to respect you
 But not all people hold the same things dear
 Repeating void catch phrases won't protect you
 And your trite, dogmatic message is unclear
 Why are you here? Who made you God?
 What drives you to curse the change of seasons?
 Don't you consider it quite odd
 To hide behind stale rhyme while fleeing reason?
 You teach us that we ought to prohibit natural thought
 Forbid ourselves from feeling
 You condemn what lies within to shelter us from sin
 Yet it's humanity you're stealing
 Blinded by your "fundamental" vision
 You see us all as puppets to arrange
 Shamelessly distorting your religion
 Twisting it into something deranged
 Why are you here? What turned you on
 To such an obsolete, misguided treason?
 No cult of sanctimonious pawns
 Can arrest your rhyme or bring you back to reason
 The fear of Hell suppressed your childhood laughter
 Fire and brimstone haunted you from birth
 All your life you covet the hereafter
 Perhaps you should enjoy your time on Earth
 You preach that science challenges one's morals
 But who declared it such a concrete line?
 While you're so busy resting on your laurels
 We'll honor our "intelligent design"
 And after all this arguing has ended
 Each enemy will lock the other out
 This isn't what theology intended
 You're missing what your good book's all about
 These warring factions don't belong
 A simple point each separate side agrees on
 Pleading for ignorance is wrong
 And your damning rhyme corrupts our dawning reason
 Why are you here? A question everyone must face
 In this revolutionary season
 Why have we doomed the human race
 To an infinite stalemate of rhyme and reason?
