What kind of man is this
To report his mother for begging him
To abandon hateful folly?
What son is this, so depraved,
Would shoot her in the public square
With jeering blood-seekers cheering?
What kind of god must this man seek,
To end the life of the one who gave him life,
To what end would such a god demand obeisance?
Perhaps a god this is,
Whose thirst for blood would raise
The dripping flags of war
And bathe the world neck-deep,
Up to the horses' bridles in gore,
But he's no god of mine.
This god is not the One
Who sent His only Son
To give His Life in the name of peace,
To save His friends and love His enemies.
This god is in rebellion,
Denying his own creation,
Lying to himself,
Reviling peace
Because it bears the image of
The One True God.
Enviously manipulating,
Beguiling the children of Eve,
Desecrating the human form,
Dividing the human race,
Heaping doom upon doom,
Calling damnation on himself.
