Devil’s Advocate
Cw for religion ✝️
Not to play devil’s advocate
But I can see his side
Yenno besides the whole
‘Let all the glory be mine’
It makes a lot of sense
To do away with free will
The moment we got agency
Everything went downhill
You’d think intelligent beings
Would use their power of choice
To make all people equal
To give everyone a voice
Instead it seems that humans try
To go out of their way
To be more evil than thought possible
To pillage and to slay
You really can’t assume
That anyone has good intentions
There’s someone on your block right now
So starving for attention
They’d comit some heinous act
Seen in the news tomorrow
In their police interview
They won’t show one hint of sorrow
The moment that you think
People can’t get worse than _that_
You see something even wickeder
That makes your heart go flat
They keep inventing brand new ways
To torture, rape and steal
It’s like we learned how to make choices
But forgot how to love and feel
That’s why I understand
The point the devil had to make
If you give human beings agency
There’s just too much at stake
I’d much rather be a robot
With no choices of my own
Than live in this wretched hellscape
That I have to call my home

Some thoughts- I don’t necessarily 100% believe everything I wrote here but sometimes it does get really hard living in such a corrupt and evil world and it’s hard to see the good
