And God Said

Moral decay in slow motion
Callous crusts over all emotion
Fueling evils endless  ocean

And god said,"show me one good soul"

The pointed fingers lay the blame
Its easier than bearing our own shame
To bring to ruin anothers name.

And god said," love your neighbor"

The homeless beg, we pass by,
Never seeing teardrops in their eyes
When we eat well and they're denied.

God said, "when i was hungry did you give me 
to eat."

Perfection achieved by what weve done
Not being thankful when blessings come
And from his grace we turn and run.

And God said," i never knew you".

Chilling. It's a good build up to the last line. Just a question: You've written the word "God" as "god" and "God." Does this imply that the first two references to God are dismissed as a general deity while the last two are THE God?

Please do not let my misuse of a capital letter on God to mean anything, this was just a slip on my part and should not take away from the message conveyed. Carl,
