My God!

Gujarat 2002

My God is kind and benevolent

Your god is mean and irrelevant.

Swinging blades we roamed the streets

Hacking noses limbs and teats

Jai Shri Ram he would be proud

To see his subjects scream so loud.

Evil conquered, left to die

A woman’s head an infant’s eye

Your god is weak and irrelevant

My God is strong and benevolent.

He was with me when I hacked and hit

With me – when I sliced and slit

With me – always wanting more

The body count and keeping score.

For one of us, we’ll lay down ten

And God bless us for this – Amen

Your god is silly and irrelevant

My God is wise and benevolent.

Pursuing our religious goal

New age ways to cleanse the soul

The flame of wisdom burning bright

Fuelled by homes, torched at night.

Satiating our spiritual lust

Ashes to ashes – dust to dust.

Your god is mean and irrelevant

Isn’t my God kind and benevolent?
