Devil Yellow

This yellow metal we call gold

The curse of man since times of old

Untold misery it creates

When mankind succumbs

To this yellow hate

Man will kill his fellow man

For just one handful

Of this yellow sand.

Devil yellow with its evil glow

The curse of man

Wherever he goes

Hypocrites of the religious faiths

Preaching the gospel to a poor mans face

“Give your coins, so you’re forgiven”

In the name of their god

They do there bidding

Did Jesus Christ ask for  gold?

When forgiving man

For deeds untold

Precious metal sealed his fate

This was the beginning

Of the yellow hate

Donate your gold for a front row seat

To be near the god you wish to meet

But what a shock awaits you and me

When the Day of Judgment comes to be

You will find no golden throne

Of priceless jewels and ermmin robes

You will find a humble seat

On which sits a being

You cannot CHEAT

Peter Wicks
