The Mark

What if The Mark of the beast
were a certain amount of lies
Not just simple truths like ok. 
I'm doing fine 
What if the mark of the beast 
were just taking of a life
not self defence, but the cruelty 
you decided
What if the mark of the beast
was adultry of every kind
casual sex, prostitutes 
or something a mate denighs
What if the mark of the beast
Were any kind of bribe
Both offered and the taken 
behind blinded eyes
What if the Mark of the beast 
were that fetish we desired
too many to name are the sins
each one of us requires
What if the Mark of the beast 
were neglecting  our brothers needs
too lazy to offer help 
or speak somethings on our knees
What if the Mark of the beast 
was just saying God is wrong
ignoring His commandments
singing dirty songs
What if the mark of the beast 
were just simply a tatoo
would you still refuse to get it
even though you couldn't buy any food
