The "Better" Belief

by BrokenMisery   May 1, 2006


Baptize me in holy water,
to deafen my evil speech;
but spirits of blatant slaughter,
are the words that you preach.

Your bible filled with prophesies,
that make you "so much better"
because now you spread the disease
of your superficial nature.

You think you’re perfect and righteous,
So elegant and complete.
You think that what you're fighting for,
Is the better belief.

All these excuses for sacrificial gain;
You're saying I'm doing wrong,
When you're playing the exact game
Playing for just as long.

You’re condemning the innocent
for that which they do not know,
For what their culture has brought them
And what they’re taught at home.

Their lives were brought up differently,
so does this mean that its fair,
for a ‘just’ god to send them to hell
because they’re 'evil beyond compare'?

    I guess I agree with Kevin, but then again, who says you have to follow a "rounded structure". I like your poem. Keep doing what you do.

    This poem could be great if you reworked some of the lines to give it a much more rounded structure in terms of flow and syllable count...as some of the lines..like the whole of the second last stanza.

    Aside from that, rock on.
