The Intelligent Christian

They practice a madness (a)

They think in a lie (b)

Here comes the rebellion! (c)

It rids them of reason. (d)

They cannot bear silence

Noise is their goad.

They plot only ambush (e)

For the innocent soul.

They encourage each other (f)

In evil plans,

they strut like peacocks

enticing the hen.

Their aggression is frightening,

They'll trample to death

Any weakling among them.

They do not fear God.

Their eyes always wandering

full of envy and lust.

Their language is nonsense,

and wisdom has gone. (g)

They don't stop for a moment

It might reveal truth.

Or give them some reason,

or some time with God.

They are larger than life

They project with their thoughts;

They fear their own company,

They're always 'in touch'.

They can't settle to tasks,

Or miss 'being around' -

on the streets, in the pub,

or with their own kind.

They've stifled morality,

They've trampled on truth. (h)

They're like bad tempered children,

Who are slaves to sin. (i)

The world is themselves,

They feel weakened by work.

Or helping a neighbour

Is a closed off path.

They devour the planet (j)

And take its good seed;

They wreak havoc, laying waste

What God has provided.

They torture poor animals (k & l)

In their name of science,

And on journeys so frightening 

By road, rail and ship.

These people they care not (m)

That products are tainted,

With cruelty, starvation (n)

noise, heat and thirst.

They love their possessions (o)

and hoard all their junk.

They pay to protect it,

But they're always in debt.

They have passion in watching

On screens they provide,

To view one another,

To what depths they sink.

They have no reserves,

Their actions grotesque

Like the man dancing naked

At the Modern Tate room.

In front of small children (p)

They offer display,

Of their gargoyle culture

To promote disarray.

Machines are their masters

and the tabloid press.

Whatever is current

Is 'I must have'.

The answer is Wake Up! (q)

May Christians arise.

Preach the great Gospels (r)

And teach Jesus Christ. (s)
