SPREADING THE WORD

20 Jan 2012

Growing like thorns
On the blood of broken men
The empires rose;
Millions dying
For the greed of the few;
Disguised as exploration,
A thirst for knowledge,
And spreading the Word of their God.

Spreading the Word of their God,
A God of peace,
A God of love.
Of understanding;
Spreading the Word of their God,
With war,
With pestilence,
With slavery.

And still it continues…
The raping and pillaging
Of lands, seas and peoples
In the guise of spreading
Peace,
Education,
Technology,
Using the tools of
War,
Ignorance,
Technology.

The White Man,
So proud,
So moral,
So Christian!
Plundering and killing
In the name of his God,
A white God,
Born of Jewish parents…
How does that work?
