Holding hands with ice

My cold heart is numb

I would rather not help

so I will trust in any lie

 

Arguing about nothing,

pretending to know something.

A loud voice. 

Void of love. 

 

Love is loud 

but loud is none. 

 

Forget looking at scripture in it’s entirety,

I will underline the parts that sound good to me.

Eternal life for a simple prayer,

now pour on the blessings and remove my despair.

 

But this part here I will ignore,

take care of the widows, orphans and the poor.

 

And another person cries

as I turn my head,

And the least of these is Jesus,

now another one is dead. 

 

This blood on my hands 

is the blood of the king

The one I crucify daily

with my selfish disease.
