Hell On Earth
They said they’d pray for you
they’re all sending thoughts and prayers
as if spoken or silent words to non-existent deities
could get the blood out from under your fingernails
or the coppery stench of it from your nose
Pray motherfucker pray
while people continue to die
in the name of all that is holy
in the name of psychosis
in the name of wars fought in minds you know nothing about
while you read your book of fairy tales
and give peace to the asshole sitting by you
who will go home and beat his wife after Sunday dinner
because the roast was too dry
Your prayers fall on deaf ears
if there is a god
he’s ignoring you and the entire flock
as everyone here begs for an end to the madness
and destruction and devastation
in this hell on earth
