Your Father Who Art...

By T-Nothing

In times, of their beckon need.
Final kry, a gurgling plead.
Calling out in dire distress.
Searching for you, just to confess.

The homeless are getting rejected.
The sick are getting neglected.
Children are getting molested.
When all they need, to be protected.

A little boy hides under his sheets.
While his mother is getting beat.
Something here, doesn't seem concrete.
Your "word" so mislead and discreet.

Your "chosen few" also suffer.
Yet they believed like no other.
The "sisters" killing the "brothers".
You watch, one right after another.


Are you anything more than a glorified Santa Clause?
A high praised Easter bunny, or Tooth Fairy with some fucked up laws?
Are you really any different than the other mythical creatures?
I'm pretty sure some where, the Folklore even had a few preachers.

And is this book something more than a high priced fairy tale?
That if I don't read daily then I'm damned to burn in hell?
Yet on the (slight) chance it's real, do you know what that means?
We're all 2x incest, isn't that pretty fuckin' obscene?

Sorry to say this but "Father", I don't believe.
And in todays society, sure...That's pretty naive.
But if you do believe, and I've "rubbed you the wrong way."
Check Mathew 7:1-5 before you say what you feel the need to say. :)

    Righteous read, you are the man. The first stanza, 16 lines, was the coolest thing I read. Keep it coming.

  • A former member wrote: this read like a polemic... the evidence presented in one form of verse, the conclusion in another. Good questions, one and all. I like the adam-eve incest issue... and the Santa Clause reference; real conceptual problems for some. But one may still put forth what I consider a cop-out answer of sorts... that all the needless suffering and shit is really lessons... really part of a bigger plan that is all the better for the shit in the middle... haha, yeah, go figure. Nice write, impeccable rhyme with a lot of reason.
