Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

In His Name Only

“By God anointed…”
religions claim,
then fight to steal His throne

Devotion pledged
in false pretense,
to become the greater known

A figurehead
to suit their needs,
they break His every rule

To seize with power
these ‘Chosen Ones’
—intentions harsh and cruel

(Villanova University: April, 2021)

Daniel Turner April 25, 2021 at 5:32 PM So many hypocrites. One of the main reasons I quit associating with "Christians". I really like it Kurt. Good to see you're still churning them out:) Hoping you and yours are well. Kurt Philip Behm April 26, 2021 at 8:16 AM Yes, all three major religions share in the blame. Thanks Daniel.
