I didn't write this to offend any religious people here. I just needed to express some of my thoughts.
No one's lost

I know a place where no one is lost
But they don’t know their own way out,
Where the pain out weighs cost
And reality is at a drought,
Where their bodies bit with frost
Afraid of fire with no clout,
And from these fake flames burning in a billions peoples minds eyes,
A beautiful, truthful phoenix starts to rise from these old lies,
Revealing Blue prints
Of carefully layed out diagrams
Of revolutionary plans drawing lines in the sands
Of who’s right and who’s wrong
And in the midst of all this finger pointing,
Death Comes along
To the weak and the strong,

But mortality’s in the eye of the beholder,
Me, I’d like to trust in such a theory,
Though I have my doubts that when I die
I’ll have the strength to move the boulder,

Watch the world as it spins a day older
Put some gravity on my shoulder,
Envy, greed, and gluttony, sloth, pride, wrath,
And of course my favorite deadly sin is lust
Seven acts of evil with a punishment that’s just, right?
Blind It must, right?
I’m hitting on 21, I bust, right?
I’m guilty of a few to say the least,
And you are too, right?
So ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
We’re falling down, right?
With iron clad conviction
You would never think to straying
From the righteous path, right?
And Risk eternal life, “right”


Misinformed of a forewarned conclusion,
Synapses scorned with an adorned contusion,
I stand on Mt. Olympus
Northeast to Greece
And slice a piece of myth for the next apprentice,

Blinding Bolts of lightening from the minds of thee enlightened
Onto god fearing people who have never been frightened
Too occupied in stopping there own senses to be heightened
Round up all the ships, all hands on the decks,
The All Mighty’s vexed with a Napoleon complex
Perplex subjects intersects into the brain,
Got you thinking what’s next?
But your views are all in vain  
Arcane beliefs, forty thieves into the darkness, Embark this voyage,
Writing tomes of thee unknowns
Trying to separate the fact from fiction
From their last edition
Of archaic hear say I Scream I Speak I Plead
To you people but you just can’t hear me
I’m a man on a mission
Not a fan of superstition
Shooting stars and I ain’t wishin'
Like you, like you,
I rely on wits and vision
In my studious decision
To detach from convention,
I blew right through.

I’ve planted and I've watered seeds of doubt
In my own brain,
From both sides of the spectrum,
But when I decided to inspect’em,
Only one turned into a tree,
With branches I could cling to
And a trunk that’s well rounded,  
Knowing that I’ll never fall
cuz I’m already grounded.
I’m free, I ain't lost I'm free...

I liked your flow.  It has a ring to it.  If this is about God then it sounds like you're in Egypt.  Particularly when the light was shown on Israel and Egypt was in total darkness living in the same place.  But it does have a nice flow to it.  

God bless,
In Christ,

To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.
