If I Whisper In Your Ear, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)
If I whisper in your ear
And tell you I love you
Would you hold me dear
If I told you you had nothing to fear?
If I asked you to defend me
Would you do so with loyalty
Would you do anything for me
If I promised you the world?
If Allah whispered in your ear
And told you he loves you
Would you hold him dear
If he told you you had nothing to fear?
If he asked you to defend him
Would you do so with loyalty
Would you do anything for him
If he promised you the world?
If Jesus whispered in your ear
And told you he loves you
Would you hold him dear
If he told you you had noting to fear?
If he asked you to defend him
Would you do so with loyalty
Would you do anything for him
If he promised you the world?
If Yahweh whispered in your ear
And told you he loves you
Would you hold him dear
If he told you you had nothing to fear?
If he asked you to defend him
Would you do so with loyalty
Would you do anything for him
If he promised you the world?
If a dog named Sam whispered in your ear
And told you to kill for him
Would you hold him dear
If he told you you had nothing to fear?
If a Man named Mashal whispered in your ear
And told you the comet was near
Would you would you eat the applesauce
If he promised you the world?
If a madman told you to gut a pregnant actress
And a coffee family
Would you hold them dear
If they promised you the world?
If a man took you to South America
And promised you a utopia
Would you hold him dear
Would you drink the punch?
So this all powerful being, your praises you do sing
He wants to be your king, but violence is all he brings
Pitting you against all others, death to all our mothers
Because he promised you the land, if you kill on his command.
Don’t you find it odd, he needs a bodyguard
He needs a marketing department
He needs a public relations department
And all are confident and ardent
And the bullets fly for the guy in the sky
The bombs land shredding limbs, heads and hands
If I whisper in your ear, and asked you to kill my wife
If I whisper in your ear, and ask you to kill my boss
If I whisper in your ear
And ask you to do these evil things
Would you blindly do them
If I promised you the world?
(end)
This poem is NOT advocating violence, it is making a comparison about how nobody in their right mind would kill for a psychopath, or even for a domestic favor like killing a wife or boss or neighbor. But when it comes to God/Allah/Yahweh, humans do it in the name of “self defense” or “selfish entitlement.
The written language has only been around for 10,000 years or so. Yet “God/Allah/Yahweh” whom are the same god, and all powerful, allegedly made the universe, cant or wont stop the violence between the tribes, or he doesn’t exist.
