Tower

[Ted L Glines]

Tower


look now, see and look
see how they quote from a book
their friends grin and applaud
worship a book instead of God
the loss, the loss, unholy loss
they worship a bloodied cross
singing songs to please us
scorning the plea of Jesus
denominations -- screaming rabble
see, another Tower of Babel
thirty-plus versions to study
all of them more or less bloody
repent and ye shall not be liable
self-righteous -- this Tower of Bible
but Jesus had impact on you
whether christian -- muslim -- or jew
he gave you his fishes and loaves
but you turned away in droves
never giving Jesus a nod
while you worship your book -- not God
give us a quote -- take a peek
at those words translated from Greek
written by human men
you worship those frail little men
so you quote and quote, again and again
and you don't remember way back when
when the prophet cast down his rod
and you knew to worship God
-----O-----
thirty-plus versions to study
all of them more or less bloody
repent and ye shall not be liable
self-righteous -- you Tower of Bible​
