A Blunder
IF God created us in his image,
Then why do we reject the holiness
He instilled in us? Why would we damage
Others in the pursuit of cleanliness?
IF we created God to serve our needs,
Then why don't we heed the virtues we've made?
Why must our personal greed supersede
The divinities that we masquerade?
What is the worth of Christ-like compassion
Or Bodhisattva-like enlightenment
IF they've never truly been in fashion—
IF we've always favored disheartenment?
Why does our species refuse to release
And give in to the harbingers of peace?
