the evil that men do
in the name of a god
is not in god’s name
but rather
evil enacted
in their name
hypocrisy prevails
in whose name?
some faceless god?
no…….
just greed
and the face on the lucre
the victorious
the arrogant
the ungodly
there is no god of the righteous
only the greedy
might is not always right
but greed trumps
"in god's name"
is now a lament of regret
what have we become

Changed the title of the poem, I think this one is more fitting. Listen to Bob Dylan’s – with god on our side … that song and a few others inspired me to pen this poem
