Hypocrits Hallelujah

I follow you lord with all my heart,
so i shall kill others in your name.
I will be the officer who enforces the laws,
even if they are unlawful themselves.
I will be the jury who convicts those before me,
even if they did nothing wrong.
I will also be the executioner,
even if being so means I sin.
All this I do in your name oh lord.
Amen.

What burns your heart so my brother? All will have to sit together until the day of judgement. Then every one will get his just desserts. Let not the minds or actions of the hypocrits rob you of your glory. Be blessed. Luv, Joy (Jew).

I enjoyed this one very much, I have a similar piece called 'unfit and ill-equipped' if you ever get the chance. I think you'll enjoy it. Well done!
