Brenda Finch - U-5

God is good.
I don't jack idiots up anymore.
How thick we are...humans.
How utterly full of maliciousness...you know, the 'subtle' kind.
The kind hidden behind a smile, smooth fluffy words. flattery.
Somebody gimme a spoon cuz I'm gonna gag.

In one breath we say 'Jesus', holler halleluia, and jump shouting praises, maybe even swoon for effect.
In the next breath we are just plain ig'nant.
Rude, nasty, and make it oh so clear that there are 'those' diff'rent than us.
With a passing 'God bless you' we dismiss them and leave them to their misery, not owning that we just added to it.

There are some monsters in the world.
And I don't mean the kind that have a right to be that way.
They are who they are and they don't deny it.
It's the kind that would never see themselves that way..cuz they are 'decent' folk.

The 'destroying' they do is more vicious because it's more subtle.
Veiled in secrecy, doled out in 'code'.
It's so much more damaging that way.

God help us.
