Is God Evil?

Is God Evil?

A Poem by Simon Welsh
"

I don't want to know why we have to die

"
There's a cultural idol with blood on his/her hands
Grant me a TV special, I'll show you prime time
Bleeding Jesus, screaming God against his will
Will we convert more to the television today?

In the Hollywood Hills, in the J town
Your dark glamour seems to speak to some
Get the homeless, get the junkie scum
Maybe the forgotten, the piece of trash you called a son
Cause, it's Helter Skelter
All the pigs have come home

I don't want to know why we have to die
Let me enjoy the innocence of this decade a little longer

Wish there was a special on how to be
a good, upstanding citizen instead of
a body count anyone evil would envy
Will we convert more to the television today?

In the Hollywood Hills, in the J town
There are LIES spread on either side
Here in Heaven, we have the victims
Here in Hell, we have the media
and their great Satan; the glorified murderer

I don't care if we have to die one day
Let me enjoy the innocence of this decade a little longer

Great write

I don't care if we have to die one day
Let me enjoy the innocence of this decade a little longer

I love this last stanza, it seems to express a longing for a return to your years of naivety and expectation

Very interesting write. I like the use of the media and those in Heaven being victims. In reality that is all they are. very gripping write.
