Axton Mitchell’s Original Poem: In the Lord’s Name

Where Poetry tumbles like water through wild stone and silence in white text over green background and a man with blue flowers for a head


In the Lord’s Name

Some humans

are

impossible 

to tame  

The devil always did his best work

In

God’s

name.

They don’t even hide in shame.

Catholic crusades,

genocide,

slave trades,

infanticide,

cannibalism,

pedophilia,

and more, all done in

the name of the Lord.
