A poem, written in despair

If you purport to speak for God,
Be careful what you say.
Self styled prophet, saviour?
You've surely lost your way.

For God is in the children.
No Devil is within.
The Devil's in the money.
The Devil's in the sin.

The Devil's in the parent,
Abandoning their child.
The Devil's in the lies,
Of the greedy and beguiled.

A child is born in innocence,
A child is drawn to good.
A child is life's gift to us.
Have you misunderstood?

So if you want to speak for God.
You'd better start to listen.
And separate the lies from truth.
And heal this division.
