“Let who is without sin, throw da first stone.” - dat Jesus Guy Throughout history Many eyes have seen Their own two hands ... Throw the first stone Pull the trigger Thrust the sword Hang a wigger or Hitler wannabe Push The button Swing the axe Flip the switch Make Anthrax Sign the order Gas the chambers Scalp a brother Build the Bomb behind closed doors Pull the lever, walk the plank It’s either us or them has always been and seems a thoughtless worthless endeavor So, when does it start, the thinking clearly Instead of just following orders What changes the mind of madness, Evil must be destroyed to free ourselves Does it happen after the bombs drop? The Book of Doom Says there is room For all of us in heaven If not, there’s plenty room in hell For everyone who just want to Keep on following orders Blindly, without questioning nothing. A sure-fire way to create an Extinction event is to just keep on following orders Who needs asteroids When all we need is a little love And a lot of ignorance

Hello Benjamin, This is an interesting write. In today’s world I think a lot more love and less ignorance is my prescription. Have a great rest of the week, fellow poet.

Interesting. As you know many criminals used that expression during the Nuremberg trials and beyond. Factoid: Jehovah's witnesses refused to comply with or abet in any way Nazism nor would they heil Hitler. Many perished in the concentration camps, martyrs for their faith

So sad and so true. If only Jesus would just return already.
