Mouth of Gods Word, a prophet in flesh and blood
for a blind age
where preachers call themselves gods,
rich men call themselves kings
and nations are idols.
Worship nothing but the beauty of the Earth
and make holy your homes
your temples
and your thoughts
You shall know the name of the Lord
As I make hot and intemperate your lands
And wreck your cities with fire and earthquakes
And storms and destruction
So that you may understand that no cement can withstand the hand of the Lord”

I gave earth to man to till
And he has killed it.

So it has been for many generations of man
And no part of he earth has been left unspoiled
Neither holy land nor nature is free from the conquest of man

We submit ourselves to these oppressors
Our masters of mans hand
And we keep our tongue in quiet
For fear of our death
Our slaughter and conquest

And the worst of them do it in the name of the Lord
As they build temples adorned with bright lights so that any wanderers may see this testament to their manhood
And be distracted from
Avoid the light god grants upon the earth

And they debate and haggle
For the right to cast a yolk around their brother
And applaud themselves when they can remember the name of their slave
Thank themselves when they do good unto themself

“My lands have been corrupted
And tilled till soil has died
Turned to dust
Man builds temples to their money
Which climb into the heavens
As they compare the size of their greed
And power over man,
While rejecting the calls of the earth
