Is It All Right?

 

 

Is it all right

For God’s so-called chosen

To threaten another of His creation

With genocidal extinction?

Is it all right?

 

Is it all right

For God’s so-called chosen

To commit heinous war crimes

Causing another’s starvation?

Is it all right?

 

Is it all right

For God’s so-called chosen

To kill women and children in war?

Don’t you see a problem?

Is it all right?

 

Is it all right

To deprive the enemy of food

And obstruct those Samaritans

That are doing good?

Is it all right?

 

Does being chosen

Give the chosen the right

To do whatever the chosen like

Albeit in a battle or fight?

Is it all right?

 

 

Is it all right

For supporters of God’s chosen

To turn a blind-eye to atrocities

Levelled against other humans?

Is it all right?

 

Is it all right

For Christians to be complicit

And support God's so-called chosen

In what is clearly illegitimate?

 

All is well in love and war

States a popular maxim

So is it all right to pulverize another

And argue it cannot be sin.

Is it all right? 

 

Whose are the Japanese

And whose are the Chinese?

For if only Israel are God’s chosen

Then whose are these?

 

Is it all right

To live in the old covenant

Disregarding Jesus’ shed blood

In his act of atonement?

Is it all right?

 

Who gives God’s chosen

The unlimited authority

To behave in a despicable manner

Lacking in civility?

 

What has become of

Do good to everyone

And if your enemy hungers

Feed him?

 

 

Is it all right

For God’s so-called chosen

To completely disregard God’s Son

And still be forgiven?

Is it all right?

 

Me thinks absolutely not

According to God’s Holy Word!

And any that supports such evil

Is contemptuously absurd.
