Children Die In the Middle East...

Christ himself was born here, 
...so many souls die... 
Wars and hatred reside... 

peace, non existant... 
people pray, many... 
...prey on each other... 

ethnic cleansing, mad men... 
execute, they pick up arms... 
for their brains don't work... 

violent devils, without mercy... 
the safety of our children, secondary... 
these men, born of women,... 
devil seed spawn from man... 
religious archaic thinking damned! 

these mindsets we do not want... 
the violence, leave it all to rot... 
this world filled with such hatred... 
all based on a belief... 
...what religion god aspired to... 
what people "think" god believed... 

thankful, most of us have our 
beliefs in check...for most we 
realise, religion was heaven sent

but the message replaced...
by contortionst's who could 
read but couldn't comprehend...

...for gods' message is 
always one of love...compassion
and tolerance
tell me how could anyone
get this message so wrong...

...on the way down here...the 
spiritual understood...
...believer beware...the
preacher of falsehood...

...man made scriptures, 
self designed to provocate, intimidate... 
but ...the real creator waits... 
...and the believers keep the 
faith...

...God resides in love...
this is where God waits...

when children start paying with 
their innoncence, their lives... 
I turn my back on religion... 
and all of mans' twisted lies... 

I see the pictures on tv childrens' 
bodies carried out, I am ashamed 
to be part of this thing we call 
the human race... 

Murderous bastards' hang your 
heads in shame...just hang your 
head from somewhere high, 
you are the ones, that should die...

...you are the ones to blame... 

crucify your spirit, cleanse your hatred 
soul, curse all mindsets who follow 
you, off to hell you go!
