There are six
things the Lord hates. Make it seven detestables. Deplorables.
Haughty eyes.
You’ve heard it
yourself – the tone, the shrill, the shriek. You know the smug
dynamic tough guy vibes. You know him – the American Vulgarian
brandishing his piety like a goddamn hammer. The governing authority
without credibility. Zero.
A lying tongue.
Wicked. Perverse.
Depraved in front of the cameras of the White House press room
Hands that shed
innocent blood.
I’ve had enough
of staring down the line. Jumping impossible hurdles. I’ve had
enough of the barrel and the bullet. A funeral test. A failure trial.
These are debts that can never be repaid.
A heart that
devises wicked schemes.
Another Midwest
shooting. Another state sponsored murder. Another extrajudicial
execution on a Minnesota street. Antinomian disregard. No
jurisprudence. No moral law.
Feet quick to rush
into the evil of the American nightmare
Your absurdities
have become atrocities. Another every day. Without regret. Without
remorse. You delight in the cruelty. Pleasure in our pain.
A false witness
pouring out lies one after another as if we didn’t see the videos
ourselves.
Jesus said “blessed
are the peacemakers” – but this is not you. You are lawlessness
and chaos. You are death and destruction. Without a profession of
doubt you’ll never realize your mistake.
A person who stirs
up conflict in the community.
Don’t ask for
reverence. Give me no more confessions of faith. I no longer believe.
(Proverbs 6: 16-19)
