Mind Decay

Mind Decay

A Poem by Raven Starhawk

In the world of God and the Bible

Where serpents speak and influence

And man and woman are cursed for dissidence

Knowledge is damning

Ignorance is bliss

And rebellious angels fall

 

As a punishment rapists marry their victims

Slavery is perfectly acceptable

Ritual human sacrifice

Ritual animal sacrifice

The smell of burning flesh pleases the Lord

 

Morals and ethics are lost

Among an ocean of heinous crimes

Cities are destroyed so that the Israelites can live there

And thousands of innocence people killed

Simply because “God” orders it

 

Homicide

Rape

Despoil

Oppression

Child abuse

All justified
