FRIEND OR FOE

Are you friend
Or
Are you foe?
With your covered face
I wouldn't know.
Coming from afar
To do me Ill,
Holding up a book
And claiming
It's Gods will.
Is this the God
Who sent a son,
To be crucified
To save everyone?
Well,
The lamb certainly
Turned his head,
When innocents
Were molested in their bed.
By priests and clergy
Whilst in their care,
Where was God then?
Why wasn't he there?
Children abducted
Or shot in their schools,
By so called Jihadists
Applying Gods rules.
His voice on earth
Says "No contraception"
Where Aids is rife,
Millions of starving children
Gods warmest wishes
Causing suffering and strife.
Up or down
Which way to go?
It's hard to decide
Who's friend or foe.
Child abuse and beheading
All the devils doing,
But, it's in the name of Allah
All this shit we're viewing.
You'd let your child die?
Withholding life giving blood,
Is that truly Gods word?
Oh Lord, that's not very good.
Everywhere you look
There lies a tale of woe,
All watched over by a God
Is he friend or foe.
