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.
