A poem about religious intolerance and what it can lead to |
The stench of the dead lingers here For the Reaper takes only the souls. And he leaves with his bounty before the bells of death toll. Out on the battle field They decay and they rot For glory they fought. Yet in the end they should have known The worthless don't leave with the gold. To the guns and the swords And the mobs and the hoards, Don't cry out God's name When it's all in vain. The petty, they weak, They won't let us speak For their God does not approve. If only the closed-minded knew Not the cloth nor the book Keeps you out of Hell's grasp. Killing in the name of God Is not our task. The innocent blood you spill, That is not God's will! Though they cry and they plead, Get down on their knees, Your eyes remain cold as stone. Now I see you're just corrupted drones. You cannot have God's blessing With blood on your hands Whatever happened to God's plan? That part of him is in every man? I cannot believe How you love your conceit. You say you never sin Though you cheat and you win. I pray your evil doesn't go unseen. That you heathens will someday be cleaned. |
