Separation of Church and Steak

Separation of Church and Steak

by Madan Oppenheimer

Which part of "kill" don't you understand?

Doesn't "Thou shall not" sound like a command?

 

Amidst the braying and crying

You only hear your greed

Drowning out the voices

Of those on which you feed

 

Hurting them to help yourself

Taking care of your own hide

You have dominion over them

And you feel justified

 

Which part of "kill" don't you understand?

Doesn't "Thou shall not" sound like a command?

Chewing flesh, saving souls

Portrait of a lie

Embodiment of contradiction

Never asking why

 

Give it up, walk away

Turn the other cheek

The Earth shall be inherited

By the humble and meek

 

Which part of "kill" don't you understand?

Doesn't "Thou shall not" sound like a command?

 

Meat is Murder, God is love

Where is the connection?

Docile stare, knife blade glare

Crime escapes detection

 

Words of truth interpreted

Ask your fellow man

 

Which part of "kill" don't you understand?

Doesn't "Thou shall not" sound like a command?
