PurgatoryA Poem by LanaThis is the story of a religious soldier When it gets stormy he becomes a real killer But it is okay because He lives in a whirlwind of identities He has a badge on his chest that says "Army" After he loads up his gun he prays to God But not for mercy as when it gets stormy His heart bears no sin he knows the Lord taught him gun safety But he never practices what he preaches Choir of people protest against his violent hands Humanity's echo reminds me of his arsenal of love But oh no, not today, not when it gets stormy, Lord I am only a religious soldier Who fights the fight until I get older In a bubble of allies and enemies I-am-a-father- to-be You see, just like you Moses I see The sea and I split it between Me and the civils The red cross will never come after me I am just a religious soldier Who died a good fight Against enemies that were allies And allies that were so angry They started kneeling before me Asking "Why did you make me?" Yes, I am not dreaming I might be the God I believed in As God said Let there be light And let there be war I was a flower unable to grow in concrete I am too good to be punished When I died, I died in ectasy I will snort gun powder until my veins bleed And then I will see you in purgatory
