heaven’s grace rains from clouds of white phosphorus
hallowed light blooming bright in the eyes of His cherished young
as hymns erupt in chorus from such devoted lungs
their promised kingdom lays before them, burning like the sun
if man was made in the image of god
then god is mary’s rapist, sadistic and faithless
contrarian hatred borne from promises sacred
a covenant languid, writhing upon blood-rotted pavement
to the subservience of law you are favoured
an envoy of humiliation, livestock lead to decapitation
bodies bred to burn as fuel for contagion
the merciful gift of a genocidal nation
hell was unleashed by the hands that raised the church
true angels lay in fragments, scorched into the earth
fates delegated accordingly to their unchosen birth
to an audience of God, this is all humanity is worth
