"Thou shalt not kill"

Thu, 11/07/2024 - 18:13 -- Maphey

"Thou shalt not kill" says the seventh in the list!
And yet they worship Heaven with new blood spread on their fists.
Skeptics, pagans or freethinkers, we all live under this Harbour,
But I still read through the lines our old Peacemaker -murder-!

"Thou shalt not kill" says the seventh in the list!
When the Holly Book itself is compelling in the twists.
It's a self serving delusion when the hand touches the gun,
It becomes the hand of doom, not that of a "Chosen One"!

Giving that we're all so flawed,
Why misshapen mouths laugh fearless?
If we kill in name of God
To whom we're praying for forgiveness?
