Poem
Have you ever thought about the Death of Christ? Why did they crucify him? If you read the story then you know But what I ask is why didn't God stop them? It's natural to protect our own How could he let him be sacrificed? For the good of all man I've been told God sacrificed his only son for us But what does he ask in return? What does he want? Are we supposed to try and emulate him? I wish to know I don't understand his decision To not help his only son, I couldn't do that But I do know that is why we are not gods Do people who give their lives for others emulate God? When a solider dies for our country is he dying for us? Or freedom? or both? Are the parents godlike in their sacrifice of their children? Like Christ when he sacrificed his only son Or is it more than that? Is patriotism just a mindset to get people to fight? When one country is mad at another It's the leaders who argue not the countries Why can't the leaders fight and leave us alone? Do leaders send their own children to fight and die? Why should I send my children to fight and die for you? Are you a God? Do you have my interests at heart? Or yours? You say it is in the name of freedom, but whose freedom? We have never been free You send me to fight, kill, and die And yet you say I am free, free to do what? Free to murder those you want dead? Free to send my children to their death for you? Who are you again? Are you a God? I fight for God not you My children are not targets or murderers And now you demand my children to be your shield Who are you again? Never mind I know who you are it's very plain to see You are not a god you are a coward You are evil and you are trying to destroy us You are lying to all of us just as you always have You speak of freedom As you try to blind us with patriotism And silence us with duty and honor, Meaningless! From one who knows nothing of their meaning I wonder what God would say to you Knowing who and what you are Would he forgive you? Would he understand your deception? Would he? I could not forgive you, this is why I am not a god I can't forgive, I am vengeful, I would punish you Without mercy For allowing this deception of youth to continue Maybe you believe your right but I can't believe that You know what your doing is wrong yet you continue One day you will pay, as we all will We are all guilty to some degree But most of all we are guilty of sacrificing our children to you Who are you again? never mind I just remembered, your the devil
