Thou Shalt Not Kill
What amazes me
with all the religions
Christian Muslim and Hebrew
you all believe in the same God
All the cults
and all of the behaviours
throughout history
Your God came down
To the mountain
and personally wrote
the ten commandments
Thou shalt not kill
How is it that Catholics
have killed Protestant
Protestant has killed Catholic
history is riddled with violence
today's world is
riddled with violence
they say "we are better than you,
so we have a right to kill you"
Yet surely if God took the time
to write personally
the ten commandments
do the not apply
To all of your religions,
thou shalt not kill
Christian cults started up
people in texas brought guns
The Authorities moved in
we all know the history
A massive group of Christians
committed suicide
Killing themselves
If the leaders of your religion
want you to kill yourself
or somebody else
shouldn't you ask
what happened to
Thou shalt not kill
written by God himself
If every man
refused to pick up a gun
there would be no more wars
following the path of peace
Is a decision
you should make
within yourself
God himself wrote the words
