According to Who?

According to the Bible, I should be a slave Who works for no money to save.
According to the Bible, since the beginning of creation We have been doomed to eternal damnation, Because although Jesus died for me and you He will spare only the lives of a few.

If God was here, in our churches today
What would he say?
Would he demand an explanation,
As to why there are so many wars among nations?
Would he ask us why we all paint His face, To justify the wrongs of every race?
The KKK used the Bible as a right
To hang and burn innocent people at night.
There are women who are being raped, beaten, and killed Yet, I suppose those wounds can simply be healed By your religious interpretations.

After all, Bush used it to cover up his miscalculation But since he’s a “righteous” man, its ok.
Well, tell that to the children in Iraq who are crying Because the people around them is dying From war and diseases with a cure Although we are not sure If we want to take on a problem not our own.
So we chose to ignore them
As opportunity shuts its door
In their face.
Leaving them alone in the rain
Without any protection.
While we complain about how much money we are making Instead of the lives that we are taking… Or tell it to the man who lost his job Or to the countries we have robbed To the people on the streets Who have little or nothing to eat And to the troops away at war… Tell them exactly what they are fighting for.
