The Perfect Alibi

pick up the gun
feel its cold
deadly fervour
takes a hold
search out a target
move with the crowd
take careful aim
deliver a shroud
they don’t believe the truth
and consider it odd
that I’ve the perfect alibi
because I was with God

eagerness of a malignant mind to use "God" as an
excuse for the worst sort of human cruelty.
How often has THAT been witnessed down the ages?
