Unbeliever

Actions

speak so much louder

than words

falling from lying lips.

Platitudes mouthed

‘Come save your soul’.

Hesitate not

for the gates of Hell

wide open

for sinners such as myself

for small children

whose only sin was to be  burdened

with adult concerns.

Sit in your castle

built upon the blood of innocents

demanding more…..

more money

more sacrifice

more of everything you declare holy.

Fight against basic truths

demean

degrade

fancy words spewed to others like you.

My lips twist with derision

when I see you

for you have decided that you

and you alone

are the one who gets to call down hellfire

on all who are unlike.

Deplorable

disgusting

degenerate

with money

with women

with sanctimonious piety.

Tis not me that you need to be afraid of

but that god

you use to cow

to manipulate

to abuse

anyone

who is an unbeliever to you.
