preach love. practice hate. preach acceptance. practice rejection.
god needs no passport
except if he turns out to be mexican
or guatemalan
or peruvian
or argentinian
or colombian
                                                    —it’s all mexican, right?
no.

if god is black then we should watch him carefully.
and if god is british we should befriend him.

because we all know the white gods are the friendly ones.

the white gods have mercy.
they stop wars.
they preach peace and love.
but don’t look or touch the slabs.
then you implode.

it’s the foreign gods that preach war.
who’s that one god? jihad?
that’s those muslims.
they preach violence.
they preach hate.
the indians have more than one god?
so who do we worship?

                                                    —there can only be one, right?
no.

and what if there isn’t a god?
or what if god disowns you at his pearly gates
passing judgement on you for passing judgment on others
preach love. practice hate.
preach acceptance. practice rejection.

hypocrisy is a fickle bitch.
                                                    —and revenge leaves you with a bitter taste.
