Of a merciful, all-loving God,
Then why do we insist on His plan

Then an unwanted slap in the face
From our Creator, who begot a Son
So that we may live in peace and harmony
For all eternity?
The sacrifice of a lamb,
In this case, is the willful and necessary end
To our woeful pride and sickening vanity,
In a world that knows no limits to either
