Blood-stained Glass

It is my opinion that ‘Christianity’ is at the tip of the spear
Of reasons behind murderous action in any given year
Committing violence in the name of the father, spirit, and son
People feeling proud, walking taller, usually while carrying their gun

Let’s call it what it is; fear of what they do not know
Not so different from what happened over 400 years ago
They keep swapping one victim for another in a class of many
At the root of it all are those so ready to invoke ‘Christianity’

I’d laugh if it wasn’t so dangerous to cherry pick what works for you
As a society we need to be brave and call this out; it is long overdue
It’s not about religion or faith; it’s a choice what they decide to do
You’ll have company; hypocrites in faith and religion are nothing new

They bring it out like a winter coat, comfy and warm to cloak themselves in
Making themselves victims, lording it over all others while prophesying sin
Then back in the closet it goes when they want to do wrong against others
Immigrants, LGBTQ — pick one; they especially hate un-wanting mothers

Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers; that you do unto me
I learned in single digits to be the pinnacle message of Christianity
They want acceptance for who they are but don’t want to treat others the same
Common sense and decency should guide them; otherwise, they are the only ones to blame

Picking and choosing when to be Christian is just silly don’t you think
Like someone driving a car into the ocean knowing the car will surely sink
Put a different way, be kind and mind your own damn business, they’ll be happier for it
Consuming themselves with how others live is not Christian and makes them small — just a bit
