The Church Has Failed

The church has failed
Jesus
The world
Themselves
Narrowly focused on hell
While overlooking the weak, hurting & frail
Is it that hard to tell
Are you blind
Can you not see the signs
The pain you've committed is not reflective of the divine.
More concerned with the politics of the time
Then compassion
What happened
Thats what im askin
The good youve done isnt even a fraction
Of the atrocities you've practiced.

Internal strife
External hatred
How you suppose to be united but clearly divided
Doesnt make sense
Arrogant & pious
Willing to fight for an unborn fetus
But wont take a stand for the ones who are mistreated
Clearly the latter arent less important than the previous.

You've inflicted so much pain pain pain
Supposedly in Jesus name
But really in the name of gain
Manipulation, fear and shame
Add a little guilt
This is how you get people to change
Funny thing
I never saw Jesus use those tactics
He wasnt into politricks although he instructed Peter to pay his taxes
Again I ask you
What happened?

True Religion is loving your neighbor as yourself
Visiting the orphans & widows
Giving them a hand of help
Serving the poor & marginalized
Not trying to get them to do what YOU think is right in YOUR eyes
Its giving to those who ask
Its not wearing a mask
Its not judging outsiders on their present or their past
Its not being apathetic or indifferent
Oh & I forgot to mention
God is not a christian.

God is love
The creator of the stars above
The giver & sustainer
Not some angry old man just giving us the finger.
