god : God

Believe in Him

deep evil lurking beneath cloaks of righteousness

with hands purified by holy water they preach a song of goodness

"to be one with God"

the masked figure can speak 

"you must do his biding" 

as unseen lips move rhythmically the room around them grows cold 

the mask releases a cloud of breath, icy 

creating a veil of fog before them and I

ans all stands still

 they spoke with a soft voice, yet it was growing louder as the energy was sucked right from their followers

I am stronger than this false hope and lying faith 

this being preaches of the wrong and right 

as is they were my inner conscience 

they speak of equality and shunning the different 

for God must have made a mistake, this batch he created of individuals 

it was wrong : imperfect 

yet this man before me 

the man with no face

just finished telling me 

"God loves all of his children and makes no mistakes"

these people surrounding me 

zombies - each and every one 

not questioning words swept clumsily into their ears 

scattering for answers - searching for a sign

I'm in need of an explanation 

rushing to my feet, i make my way towards the door 

to leave this house of God 

Confused i will be no more - he catches me with a stern blue glare

Pulling back the over sized hood; now i can see who is there 

a human, like you and I

torn at the seems with false hope sewn into his being of finally being laid to rest 

relaying the secrets he was once told 

of another man with hope for a new home 

one up in heaven 

where the big man will treat him right 

but these men move on

spreading the word that God will one day save them all when he returns 

returns to a world where his words have been twisted 

by this man hoping for salvation 

provided by God 

his soft, hands adorned with not a single callus

blessing souls for their eternal sleep 

they followed his word - believed every story 

every passage written in the bible 

never were they questioned once 

God is our savior - and that is belief enough
