You can tell from the names mentioned, I wrote this a few years ago, but the situation is just the same today.
Lord, You Must Be Joking.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth,
Burundi, Rwanda, nothing to date.
Ye shall love thy neighbour s thyself,
Cuban people, don't appreciate.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted,
San Salvador mothers, patiently wait.
We thank thee for thy gracious mercy,
"Desert Storm" Iraqi people's fate.
Is your church gratified when victory claimed
by young lives stolen, town ethnic cleansed?
Does a Christian God's eyes see a better world
when life brutally stolen from a Muslim child?
Does God of peace and compassion bless his flock,
bathed in the blood of Sarajevo, Vitez Glamoc?
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth,
Ethiopia, Angola, still struggling.
Ye shall love thy neighbour as thyself,
Third world resources, West plundering.
Blessed are they that mourn, for thy shall be comforted,
Australian Aborigine, rapidly disappearing.
We thank thee for thy gracious mercy,
Guatemala Natives, mortally bleeding.
