Thou Shalt Not

Five minutes after God wrote the very first commandment.
His kids commenced to slaughter each other.

Sometime later,
a great thinker stood forth and said:
“Hey guys do you think He really meant it?”

“Of course” said one
“Naw” said another vehemently.

One touchy fellow said they were both wrong!

Things got heated.

War broke out, the killing resumed.
