MESSAGE OF GOD

Folder: 
BABYLON SYSTEM

POLITCAL BULLSHIT

THAT WOULD HAVE ME PICK A SIDE

WHEN PEACE WAS THE MESSAGE

CLEARLY SENT TO US BY GOD

WHO AM I TO ROB A MAN OF HIS LIFE

TO BASTERD A CHILD TO WIDOW A WIFE

IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO ERASE

WHAT THE LORD HAS GRACED

THE FACE OF THIS EARTH WITH

DEATH WAS OUR CHOICE

WHEN LIFE WAS HIS GIFT

I HEAR THE POISON IN YOUR WORDS

I SEE HATE IN YOUR EYES

SO READY FOR WAR

BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE

STILL YOU CLAIM ALL GLORY TO GOD

AS YOU PICK UP A GUN

I'M SORRY,

BUT MURDER GLORFIES NO ONE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WISH TO BELIVE THE BEST IN HUMAN NATURE BUT EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE NEWS OR READ THE NEWS PEOPLE ARE KILLING EACH OTHER IN NUMBERS.THE SCARIEST PART OF ALL IS WE FIND WAYS TO JUSTIFY IT. MORE WARS HAVE BEEN FOUGHT AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN THE NAME OF GOD THEN ANY OTHER REASON. I LIKE TO BELIVE THE GOD I SERVE IS A GOD OF PEACE AND LOVE AND IF HE IS WAR CAN NOT BE PART OF HIS NATURE

Read your OT again. God was a smiting SOB and endorsed quite a bit of genocide.

war is not a part of God's nature, He gave us free will, war is a part of human nature, and a very ugly part of it.
again i am amazed by how tight and visceral your work is!
