Godless Hypocrites – A Tanka

Godless hypocrites

Plague this world in their God’s name

Unleashing hatred

Are these demons not in sight

Ripe for justice to be served

      My mistake, I was thinking about a haiku when I typed the title. :)

    Unfortunately, too true. I’m sure their God is shuddering at His name being slapped on such awful things…

      I am sure that He is. I find some of the things to be done in God’s name to be so terrible, take the Boston bombing for instance. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem Melody. :)

    Far far too many of those around.

      Yes there are, but I don’t think they are going away any time soon.
