Notes About The Poem

unrhymed couplets drawing the false god that lies needing human sacrifice 

The Modern Baal

There is a war on earth against God 
attacking the very corner stones within pillars of belief 

Shepherd when the stars of doom eclipse red faced 
cornered facts bleeding innocent the silent screams tremble 

Unheard angels filtering through the moonlight 
kneeling souls pray for His dire mercy 

To make this world right again filled with peace 
Condemn the guilty as wolves they are killing sheep 

Ripping little ones to pieces sacrificed at the pagan temple 
where the purity of love has been tarnished ugly by these loveless strays

Savages impotent against the powers of nature 
prostrating the cringing submission of a slave

Begging blind articles of self praise enslaved ideas removing independence 
from true facts not acknowledged for their value underneath respect

Despite its wanton infliction of pain apes amongst rats devouring 
democratic views under heaven's command thou shalt not kill
