Thursday morning, seven a.m.

a young boy found dead in a garbage can

when apprehended the police asked why

"God told me to", was my reply

voluntary manslaughter

killing in the heat of passion

by another's command

killing for god

in my room a dog lies dead

a crucifix pounded through his head

I hung him high to drain his blood

god told me that I should

pieces of grandma litter the den

God, please dont let me kill again

please whisper to me no more

another will fight the holy war

God told me to

God told me to

God told me to

so it must be right
