you say you love your god
but you murder him every day
you rape him
you tear the fingernails off
his loving hands
one by one, like lashes to your own back
and you 'know not what you do'
and destroy what has been given
so freely, and so lovingly
with your blame
you say he lives
his spirit is alive
you say he was a man
like yourself and your brother
a man that walked this earth
making footprints in the sand
and then you glorify his very death
over and over and over again
for the sake of your own unaccountability
do you also remember others
passed on
in this way?
i love you
and sometimes love is painful
but love goes on
jesus died and for me
he rests in the same peace he
walked upon this earth
and his love
lives on in us all
love lives on
and on
and on
and on
my god is love
and i...love you
and that is how i share my god

Thanks, jessie. i'm glad you liked it. my religious background is that of Catholicism, but have since used it as a stepping stone towards onelove. (to be honest, i always thought there was something a little too sadistic about everyone loving to see a human being in that much pain...regularly, and often---idk...doesn't jive with me).
Thanks for commenting,
"the bad catholic"
