CHOSEN PEOPLE

CHOSEN PEOPLE

you were supposed
to teach us the truth
bring us closer to God

did you
perhaps forget;
have greater priorities

act as an example
lead children
along the path
of righteousness

not carpet bomb them
target their classroom
blast them into
shattered fragments

bits
everywhere

meant to lead
towards the light
not steal and
kill to survive

live
at others’ expense
burn your way
to supremacy
brutally self-
convinced

lighting your way
with the utter
worst of cleansing fire
