The Art Of Killing Children

The idea of God creates power
and so does money
and the two together create genocide
and bloody Sundays

It’s called

Ethnic Cleansing
washing the opposed in genocide
mass homicide
organized religion is nothing to be proud of
the dividing is killing
and looming around the remaining
lonely for a suitable life
that doesn’t include “the decision”
because when your poor
it’s either resistance or religion
and when the two mix
death dresses in persistence

Therefore this is written for the innocent children
being mentally murdered by the words
of what another man say
I say a rich preacher
is a poor servant to his or her God
making car payments off the hope and faith
of their supposed fallen flock
unlike some
I won’t support their hookers and golf trips

I believe music is God
and the vibe has been mistaken
for man, by man
for way too long
children of rebellious music
open your ears
and listen to the rhythm in your soul
music is the only action they can’t control

But religion though
it’s all ill-gotten gains
and while the majority trains
to kill in the name of King James
I ask you?

Are you a part of the problem or the solution?
Because if you believe in organized religion
how will you be among those who one day
will celebrate organized revolution?

Besides

What are we believing in a man-made God for?

You like contributing to slavery, cannibalism and war?

You mean to tell me you condone the actions of honor killings, suicide bombers and bank tellers slinging
“In God We Trust?”

I know it’s off the subject
but if that’s truly the case
then why can’t the homeless
sleep in banks and other holy places
when the shelters are full?

Do trust

Most can’t imagine pitch-black after life

Where’s the meaning?

Where’s the light?

So being the creative creatures we are
we create the great vice
to determine who’s been naughty or nice
and in return

Islam continues to be taken out of context
Dr. York was convicted of forcing children to have sex
in World War II the pope helped the Nazis kill Jews
and in return Jews think they’re the chosen few
Understand I am not here to offend you

But Christianity is as much to blame for slavery
as the Portuguese

So tell me

After all these years of holy war
when do we receive solidarity?

Its time to get off our knees
and see the real charity
human beings
visible
right here
and miserable

Why?

Because the idea of God creates power
and so does money
and the two together create genocide
and bloody Sundays

It’s called
ethnic cleansing
washing the opposed in genocide
mass homicide
organized religion is nothing to be proud of
the dividing is killing

It is killing US!
