His Good Works

Children born who will not live
Wealthy folk who will not give.
So-called Christians who judge the weak,
The world won't be given to the meek.
The churches get richer
Tell their flocks to breed
To make more followers
More hungry mouths to feed.
If Jesus were here
He would die in His name
Not from love nor faith
But simply from shame.
