Truth by lip service and rote Nailed to a cross Judgment by history; cut short To appease the blaggard and bullies of faith Nailed to idolatry The future by judgment; cut short To appease the Judas heart

A very inspiration and timely read for Palm Sunday, Colin. Powerful image and message, too!

I would beg to differ opinions that the bullies are of religion not faith. Great job kiddo.

And truth though fallen a thousand times rise again ... with healing in his wings. Nice shifts of the riffs
