« L'Adorazione » (Adoration) by Fillìa

Second Coming

o pray do tell what is that spell you are under that you would fell your own brother and of murder applaud the knell on passover

can you still claim « in god we trust » can you still preach « love thy neighbour » or do your faith you now squander on weaponry and golden dust

o please tell me how good could be of coming back a prophecy borne of attack that would hijack humanity in the blowback

the messiah would be distraught at how the cross brought no payback as you praise sin behind his back and contradict all he has taught

please formulate how such a fate predicated on so much hate fabricated through plotted death bringing justice to its last breath could validate any true faith and vindicate a nation's wraith
