greetings great blockchain poets

I am here to share

while I don't call myself a poet.

I hope that you feel as inspired by my muse as I am.

I can't take the credit either as I did not write this myself but rather utilized AI.

I am open to having a poetry battle if you think this is wack.

without further ado:

By This Shall All Men Know

They drape the flag above the pew, and bless the steel, and make it clean. They speak of blood that makes us new, while forgetting the Nazarene.

They chant of promised land and right, with scripture quoted, sharp and cold, As children vanish from the light, a story thirty pieces sold.

He said, "Turn cheek." They demand eye. He fed the crowd. They block the bread. He raised the dead. They stand by while living ones are buried instead.

The cup of wrath they long to spill is not the one He asked to drink. The law they strain to fulfill is built on cliffs where love will sink.

So let the stones cry out the name of every one the world forgets. While merchants in the temple claim a victory that betrays His debts.

For what is faith, if it can bear the weight of rubble and the cries, Yet still a pious mask can wear before its own Messiah's eyes?

Why?

This is inspired by the incredible acts of violence being supported by US tax dollars.

I don't support the genocide on Palestine and I wanted to add some spice to that.

Poets rejoice the truth don't they?

Our presence here on the blockchain is a protest to all that centralized finance has corrupted.

May the future be decentralized and those authorities who don't value life and use religion to control others be humbled into equal rights of those they seek to control whose lives they don't value.
