the chalice was filled
with the warm blood of children
during morning prayers
for they were non-believers
non-believers in your god
your god’s the true one
but does your god fear children
are not divine words
enough to sway young minds or
are you the non-believer
his operational manual
for dealing with life
consisted of
recycled
sunday school stories
a series of rules
originally designed
to increase the profitability
of a subset
of religious clergy
something
which he
only discovered
by accident
so
for the longest time
he strictly followed
their teachings
but then
he found out
there were
other books
written by
other saints
claiming
the same
purity of thought
this was confusing
but
he accepted it
as a form
of heresy
until
he was ordered
to kill
kill the non-believers
which seemed strange
for a god
of mercy
so he
questioned it
and
was called
a heretic
imprisoned
and
stoned
which leaves
the story
with absolutely
no moral
at all
