O God ! O God! Why have you forsaken me? Shepherds slaughter the fattest sheep. They join and plot and mark the victim for their feast. They have but one aim, to please the high priest, Get postings to pastures with the wealthiest sheep.
We are special claim they and we Are anointed by Jesus and stand for him Beware of our powers which exceed the bomb Our curses cause damnation fore'er
Afraid of the trappings, frightened by the robes And stories of punishments to disobedient sheep We cower in fear while they revel and plunge Their knives and forks into our hearts for their feast
Organized religion has killed our faith Yet we remember how You were slain By organized religion which was the same then As it is now And repeat your cry O Father,why have you forsaken me? I have tried to live in your presence And be honest in everything I have put my trust in Your priests and Your Church Only to find That they Secretly mock and plan to slaughter us To fatten themselves.
Should I pray- curse them to eternal poverty Of Spirit and temporal wealth Let them wander in hunger Till they realize That they live with pigs
But Your way Lord Is to forgive And pray- 'Forgive them, for they do not know what they do'. Help me, give me strength to conquer my weak mind and ego And forgive, and pray.
