'Tis spoken of by people of love and how they care,
Of God and his kindness spreading goodness everywhere,
Yet when I look 'tis absent; I don't know where it lives,
Except in the mouths of liars and the pockets of the spivs
What I see is fear, fear to speak the truth out loud
And greed so overpowering that it hides folk in a shroud.
I hear folks say "I'm Praying" but I see no open door,
For all it is they're saying is "I'll give you nothing more".
In this world of human beings it is claw and kick and punch,
All grabbing at their groceries lest some one steals their lunch.
It is "Watch out for your neighbour; buy yourself a gun"
Or kick somebodies teeth out just to have a little fun.
Yet there they are on Sunday singing bullshit to their Lord,
Or on the field of battle hacking bodies with a sword.

Oh they are all so righteous for what else could they be,
For everything is perfect to their eyes that cannot see.
They are concerned more by a swear word than by a child's screams
In their pathetic little sanctuaries of unrealistic dreams.
They pay more for their garbage cans to tidy up their paves,
Than they give to help a child live that only money saves.
They go to university and write in their many books,
Making money from their journals on how a starving child looks.
To them it's just a story as they prey on people's woe,
And report distressing stories for the terrorist and foe.
For some humans have no dignity no loyalty no pride,
And cares only for his own lost son who for his country died,
But not for the kids he slaughtered doing what was right to do,
Given our permission because we went and did it too.

Oh there are so many experts in their comfortable homes,
With mouths as big as wagon wheels whose heads need giant combs
There are talkers who know everything but nothing do they know,
Else they are hypocrites and bigots whose seeds are falsely sown.
I don't see these people up there who slander and demean,
Who claim to have the right to be insulting and obscene,
They know all the sour words defamatory and rude
Well practiced little slogans that are detrimentally crude,
That they stand there as hypocrites accusing others of their sin,
For they simply are to ignorant to realize that it is them;
Themselves they are describing in the forms of other folk,
Who know from just a glance or two that they are just a joke.
But they will just babble on trying to prove how good they are,
With conceited little references as their narrow minds retard.
