(v3.0: Removed anything inferring guilt altogether. Originally I wanted to just convey the hypocrisy of religious morality in that it doesn't map itself to reality very well. So the idea was to take it to the extreme and show absurdity.)
God can see, God can see...
The more subtle acts unholy.
Those elements of all life
Not condemned particularly by
Holy bible; Connected nonetheless.
Having broken toy 'Made in China',
the child struggles to guage
A time to press Mommy, unscathed
As the plates are wiped, tucked away
And the TV roars stubborn backing
Of our nation's political pawns
Unquestionably of course; it's war
far away.
And the Mexican farmer's labour produce;
Somalian child's rice-
Casually fills our kitchen bin
The news-programme's scan settles
Mommy; "thank God it wasn't bad news!"
Leaves her open to attack-
Timmy takes opportunity to win
Another affordable G. I. Joe clone.
(v2.0)
God can see, God can see...
Every table-manner of every house?
Then: every of your tut or smack
Or feigned attention.
God can see, the casual throw of
The plate of food into the bin.
God can see your attention sway
Wholly, from Timmy's new toy
To cellphone worship of a celebrity.
Bottom reads: Made in China
God can see, your child's learned
Not to question parental authority
On the TV, stubborn support
Behind a powerful nation's pawns:
Justifying God's word in murder.
Where: lost in trembling fingers;
A Samaritan hugs a body.
And while the Banker and the Governing-Man
"Sit and watch getting a tan"-
Your voice is gone as the news-programme's scan
Settles you down: all's going to plan.
Godless: Being only what humanity can.
(end)
(v1.0 Original
God can see, God can see...
Every time you go for a pee.
Every which way you tut or plea,
Reconsider respecting me
Or feign attention appropriately.
God can see, the casual throw of
The plate of food into the bin.
God can see, your mind's expression
When you reject your child's challenges
Outright, as though on cue.
God can see your attention sway
Too fast, from Timmy's new toy
To cellphone worship of a celebrity.
Bottom reads: Made in China
God can see your defiant stance
Behind a powerful nation's pawns:
Justifying God's word in battle.
Where: lost in trembling fingers;
God's word lost hugging a body
God's word lost with the protection
Granted to the loved one, now taken.
Any can see, the pain a sufferer
Contains, when seeking religious aid;
No man of God, is he who pushes away
Society's guiding hand for his own;
Those who dress, in crowns and gold crosses
Making clean-robed claims opposing
"Science is based on truth."
And while the Banker and the Governing-Man
"Sit and watch getting a tan"-
Your voice is gone as the news-programme's scan
Settles you down: all's going to plan.
Godless: Being only what humanity can.
