(It’s just something I had to write to get out of my system. The problem is that I, too, am a hypocrite of sorts and am doing what these people shouldn’t be doing by writing this. My bad!)
On Judgement Day
when the masses from each land kneeled to pray
they were puzzled when most were turned away.
In anger they asked their God the reasons why?
“Let me count the ways,” was their God’s reply
on Judgement Day.
“You’ve twisted My words to suit your own needs,
to let you wage wars and embrace your greed.
To live in more comfort you rape the land,
while the demise of your Earth is at hand.
You support leaders who claim they believe ---
they steal from the poor and you they deceive.
You build great temples you claim in My name
as your neighbors starve and you pass the blame.
What part of ‘Judge not’ don’t you understand,
as you smugly condemn your fellow man?
Turning your back on sisters and brothers ---
you think your sins are lessor than others?
