One civilization killing off another because of a different belief system is nothing new. I wonder why some folks are so scared of folks who look, act and live differently. I have traveled, met, lived with, and loved people who believed differently than me. I have only killed because my government told me to. That same government was right to ask my Dad to fight. They said, years later, they were wrong to ask me to kill.
This is not a poem against religion...this is a poem against the insertion of ego into religion. Notice the capitals. God understands my words.
Evil Is
The evil in this world that comes
says look at Me I’m good because
I have a savior watching Me
I’m washed in blood so I can see
no end to time. Life never dies?
I’ll be reborn …materialize.
The evil words I say of man
are justified for My god can
beat up your god let’s go to war
everything’s worth fighting for.
If you live wrong, live differently
don’t have My god, don’t look like Me,
If you wear robes, protect your kind
I’ll beat you till you change your mind.
Just ask the Sioux or Navajo
We taught them what they need to know
We’ve showed them how to be set free,
the god that’s right, the way to be…
they’re happier than once they thought
they were… because of what We’ve taught…
don’t pray to earth or winds or sun
pray to My god the only one
that can give peace as we destroy
the way of life you’re fighting for.
We’re better than you think you are
there’s nothing not worth fighting for
My god has said your gods’ a lie
My god has said it’s good we die
I’ll send My might to set you free
So you can start to live like Me.
