The Classes of God

by Kevin Weis (Freelance Messiah) - Not entered

Hands together; head bowed
voice flying skyward
heard not by a heavenly crowd.
Foolish mind; living a test
asking for forgiveness
but dying like the rest.

Dirty hands; oversized head
pilfers from the world
living freely before he's dead.
Golden crown; exorbitant vest
governing the fools
but dying like the rest.

Calloused hands; head in a shell
a disheveled hovel
but a place to dwell.
Strong arms; muscular chest
working for the fools
but dying like the rest.

Wounded hands; gaze fixed
here hangs the Man
who doesn't exist.
Worshiped by many,
but He's not to blame.
Scorned by some,
But dead all the same.

Reason for writing:

    dissenchantment etc.
Arogance, Selfishness, to name some more.
