My God was hijacked - a series of haikus

The Crucifixion by Andrea di Bartolo

Ruled by pharisees
No room for differing thoughts
Smothered by Bibles

Love, grace and beauty
Seen in a child's smile
Betrayed by man's hate

God is merciful
What would Jesus do, you ask?
Love and accept all

Instead what is done
In His name will surely bring
The Apocolypse

Bring in the horsemen
Brand us all with 666
What right do we have?

Judge not lest you be.
No one's white robe is spotless
Still the gavel falls

I no longer hide,
But reclaim the Truth I know
We aren't all like that!

The Truth corrupted
Into grotesque monster created
In man's own image

Disfigured mutant -
Religion used as weapon
For power and greed

Misrepresented -
So much evil in disguise -
Christianity

My God was hijacked
By modern day pharisees
Crucified again.
