Evil Shall Spread

Oh to think this violent, 
to force others to be silent, 
                all to earn a god's favor, 
with a reward that few will savor, 
                life always being a second thought, 
a holy war to never be wrought,
                lives taken for a denomination, 
                lives take by discrimination, 
oh to see the evil that has been done, 
to see the killing of injured just for fun, 
                I pray this evil to never be shown, 
if so, your mind would be blown, 
                just to see what's capable, 
                just to see what's flammable, 
enjoy your warm blanket at night, 
while many join this self righteous fight, 
                this evil shall spread, 
                with a goal of us dead.
