In Switzerland, the scientists created a God particle,

claiming that the creator could be made in a laboratory.

Interesting to say the least but what about faith that brings me to my knees?

The belief that I am but a mere speck in history?

Sacrilege and blasphemy often go hand in hand.

Ignorance, however, is not bliss;

I wish this was a concept more of us could understand.

Wanting to be first and best has always been mankind's demand,

resulting in conflicts throughout the world's holy lands.

I am an unholy man; done things in my short time here

that I am too ashamed to admit.

But now I plead the fifth as that glove no longer fits, so please acquit.

Changing as I grow older, evolving as I defeat my bad habits.

I vow from here on out to solely speak the truth. 

A car although a vehicle can also be a photo booth.

Slowly but surely conquering my demons, my anxieties are soothed.

It is but meagre recompense for behaving like Ebenezer Scrooge.

But I am not a stooge even if my hair is Curly, not Larry or Moe,

as I regain my footing trying to recount all that I know.

No more pain or fear, I surrender and accept to reap all that I have sown.

Lo and behold, take in my stance as I put my lips together and blow.

Hail Mary, full of grace and forgive me father, for my sins.

Grant me the courage to accept the things I can'tchange.

Let me be secure in my identity so that I can, once again, know serenity.

Guilt and shame so often get the best of me,

so please just let me do me as I forget so quickly 

about life and liberty in my pursuit to be happy.

“resulting in conflicts throughout the world's holy lands.”
