Perspectives: Vertigo (Truth)
Dramatic video describing the way God views the human race. Watch all the way through. Text is located at the bottom of this post
This is the truth
If we turn things upside down
We can’t expect goodness to win in the world
I would be lying to you if I said that
The human race has a great future ahead
That altruism could replace egotism
That your lives could be filled with joy
That your children could be safe and healthy
Before anything you must know
The human race does not deserve these things
And I am convinced of this because I know you
Corruption and hypocrisy are in your nature
Compassion breeds weakness when only the strong survive
And I refuse to believe under any circumstances that
You can turn things around in the coming years
This world may be sinking to new depths but
There are even more revelations to come
The human race has only one destiny
And whether you like it or not
This is what is real
I am the Lord, your God
And you should know I believe exactly the opposite
This is the truth
(Now, read from bottom to top.)
