The Least of These

Commentary on Apocalypses At the epicenter of hiroshima
You vaporized me
What you do to the least of these
You terrorized me
You tortured me once again
And you buried me in broken brick
You gave me, a burning village's kid,
Family love up in smoke,
The scent of the greatest sin,
Instead of frankensence
The smell of burning skin
And that, the greatest offense
Greater than killing me in my name,
He'll say
You decided others lives
Were worth less than your own
Children,
Children,
Children worst of all
Jesus has a machine gun
He'll be mowing you down
At the gates of heaven
He's perched out in a tower
He's perched out in a tower
Here come your parents
At the gates of heaven
He's mowing down your parents
And, yea, he's waiting for you
He's not gonna let you hurt them again
He's protecting the little children
Generations have seen
Fit to be machine gun targets
Protecting the least
The least of these harmed and dead
Cause you said "me?, no, better them"
In a sense you, too, made kids human shields
As you powdered the other cheek,
The smell of burning skin
Greater than killing me in my name,
He'll say
You decided others lives
Were worth less than your own
Children,
Children,
Children worst of all
Jesus has a machine gun
He'll be mowing you down
At the gates of heaven
He's perched out in a tower
He's perched out in a tower
Here come your parents
At the gates of heaven
He's mowing down your parents
And, yea, he's waiting for you
He's not gonna let you hurt them..again
Jesus has the machine gun now
He'll be mowing you down
At the gates of heaven
He'll be mowing you down
I can't be making this up,
If you say that The Word is real
Like your type say to gays
"I'm the messenger not the judge"
If you say that He's real
Because I know well what Jesus said
What so ever you do...
What so ever you do...
Jesus has a machine gun
Jesus has a machine gun
It's christian to protect
The children at all cost
The gospel according to matthew,
He's gonna put you down
Jesus, He's got the machine gun now
Cause in this life, what you do to the least of these
Yea, you gunned Him down
But Jesus, he's got the machine gun now
..................................
It's easy to condemn
Everyone else to death
Without looking at the ways
You contradict yourself
But it's best to remove
The plank from your eye first
Lest you just end up providing
Wood for the cross
Historical War
The biggies have all been backed by beliefs in dieties - in god's name - whatever god's name. Or all of them. Bombs are commodities for sale to governments - giagantic business historically. Ending air would be easier - slc
Often, though most of human
Often, though most of human history has been connected to a belief in a higher power, so it's tricky to say how much is causation, not just correlation. We've also seen aggressive empires like the Soviet Union, whom did not recognize a higher power at the State level. Any ideology, with or without a god, can become fanatical and authoritorian, if not carefully examined constantly from within, whether it is due ignoring the contridictions I tried to point out in this piece, or for some other reason. Fanaticism often cherry picks and creates double standards, judging itself and it's followers by lesser standards than it holds the rest of the world.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts - fully agreed that bombs are business, and business doesn't care about human life, other than if it's profitable to save it. When it's profitable to take it, there will not be a blink of the eye. We've recently seen this with the Supermax plane crashes, as well. Problems were ignored which would surely lead to mass death, because it was deemed profitable to release the new aircraft anyway.
