Who Is This God You Serve?

You feed and live on lies and malice Deception is the cloak you wear so elegantly The crisp white robes, expensive suits or The everyday clothes of the working class Your hands... your blood-stained hands you wash ‘It is clean’ you think because you cannot see Your eyes, they are sealed! Blind to the simple truths! At meals you sit in the company of your cohorts Devouring dreams and futures of the young You breathe the foul stench of murderous deeds Unending cries of the dead echo through the universe Reaching high to the throne of the one Creator Who is this god that you serve? Under cover of night at clandestine forums you speak In villages, towns and cities where poverty strangles Where hatred, intolerance are inherent Where vulnerable young men and women, beguiled Brainwashed to hate and destroy their own lives In light of day in the presence of strangers Your words flow free like fresh golden honey Rich and thick with lies and deception Making incredible promises you could never deliver! From lips perverse and pregnant with deceit And who is this god you serve? You may attempt to hide what is written in your heart 'Though quite often you succeed, yet never without a struggle For truth and light are "alive" and will not be buried forever! In this universe created out of order, be assured, there is an appointed day When all men will give account for the time spent here on earth The enemy, you claim, is anyone unlike you Whether it be !in color, religion or race or whatever! Stop! We would all do well to look deep within, Past that mirrored image is you... your "enemy" The one who murders with intent Who is this god that you serve? Who is this ‘god’ that you serve so diligently This ‘god’ that requires mere mortals kill one another On his behalf, and to accomplish what goals? Implicitly I believe in the One true God Who made everything out of nothing but His Word! Who forbids pride, greed, hatred, lies and murder! Who still, by the way, stays His mighty hands Being desirous that no man should perish His Word has gone out and will not return void Patiently he's waiting our repentance, Rest assured He will not wait forever!
