Self Righteous Indignation

Be careful daughter of Satan.....
That you do not declare war 
on the one true God.
For He will cast you out 
as was your father.
The mountains echoing his pleas
into the farthest regions of the cosmos.
The one true God, 
the God of love, does no wrong.
His word is law and everlasting.
Recorded ages before, in prophesy, 
yet born in truth by his son, Jesus.
Oh, pious whore of self righteous indignation,
pitting your existence
against that of God. 
Searching for pseudo truth 
and finding that for which you long 
in the faith and fascination of your father. 
How far from the true God must you stumble
ere you find forgiveness.
For he loves even you in your passionate
quest for self destruction.   
The raven sits quietly waiting in the hallways of death.
He knows that once your soul enters
if you have not the mark of Christ
you will be his troth forever,
hidden away in the remote chasms of hell
in the bosom of your father.  
Sing your song of salvation today.
You will be clad in a new self tomorrow.
