Stoned or stoner, God's tool or Pharisee?
Righteous -- self righteous, merciful -- fearful?
Who are we now? Which role is ours today?
Once persecuted, now persecutor.

Who casts the first stone now, with spite and glee?
Usurps God's rule, to judge others awful?
They hate queers, hate Jews, pray for more to flay.
To hold others down, they made Him their whore.

Stoned or stoner, God's tool or Pharisee?
Righteous -- self righteous, merciful -- fearful?
Who are we now? Which role is ours today?
Once persecuted, now persecutor.

Self-pedestalled pious pretenders feed
Choking all spirit from the church succeed
Killing God again, while the world totters --
The Father's fresh out of Sons and Daughters.
