The divine mask of religion is an… ugly misnomer of hatred and abuse, used by the religiously empowered to take ungodly advantage of weak, spiritually challenged people, whose Faith can be easily bruised. It’s meant to hide the inability of leaderships’ failure to walk in an atmosphere of Love, as defined by Christ Himself; with hostility that’s masked, grace towards sin is lacking, when The Word is used as a club, since they’re unable to provide general solace and succor towards those struggling to grow and mature properly. Christ’s view of us, is tear-filled; He’s seen and experienced the harsh cruelty of Humanity’s efforts to mete out justice blindly, without needed consideration and understanding… of Yahweh’s Providential authority.

Poem: Divine Mask
