The God of Man


“If God is against it, who can be for it?" they prayed with gold encrusted lips and snake-toothed-tongues. “If God is against it, who can be for it?” they painted on picket fences and loaded into metallic killers. Words found and fought for in the hearts of the wicked and deceived. “If God is against it, why would we be for it?” they shouted as their ethics were corroded from the bomb smoke and smog and righteousness was ignored in favor of selfish production. Hate is bred in the minds of the justified. If God is for it, I am against it and this excuse for faith, mutated by the hateful minds of the blackhearted. If God is for it, I am against it until this "god" is replaced by God and love becomes real and justifications have ceased to infect the flesh and blood and bones of man.
