Killjoys

Gratitude I have
Blessings a plenty
Love joy peace even
Until I mingle
And get tested accused
Manipulated ridiculed
Pushed pulled
Disrespected and rejected
I hate abuse
Jesus hated humiliation

Who are my accusers
Self-righteous pseudo sages
Who are my critics
Petty wits
People work for money
Where's the mystery
Even God commands tithes
Ministers get paid

Some hammer
Some forgive
Which side of the nail are you on

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys get all the pain
Some guys get no respect
Some guys get picked on
The world is full of killjoys
Life is a breath of smog
But justice is on the way
God gets no respect.
