Broken Commandments In a Broken World

Love your neighbour.
Bomb them to Hell

Peace be upon you.
Off with their heads

Blessed are the poor.
We shall exploit them

Feed the hungry.
Poison their waterholes

Help the homeless.
Herd them into refugee camps

We are equal in the eyes of our God.
Let women be our slaves

There is dignity in labour.
Prostitute yourself

Respect the planet.
Pollute earth,air,sky and sea

Health is wealth.
Only wealth can afford health

Uphold freedom of speech.
The thought police rule
