In The Name Of God Poem by Amanda Eckols

for centuries we'vefought in the name of god
loading up our arms in his name
so when just another soldier, one of many crusades
marched into a town-every one looked the other way
he found a man who believe in a different God
with a gun in his hand told him that-
my God is the only way; my god is what you need
but the man refuse to change his view
and the point of a gun he said I love my God
by him I will stand through anything
and the point of a gun he said my God said love one another
He pulled the trigger and took a life away-in the name of God-
what do you think your doingin the name of God



Some where done the road a little boy heard
his father died defending the their Lord
there and there he decided not to seek revenge
But when he heard about some friend
who turn away from God, he got this gun
the boys just walked away as he said
my God is all there is; My God will save the day
the younger brother turn back around
and the point of a gun he said I love my brother
by him I will stand through everything
and at the point of a gun he said My God I love my brother
and he pull the trigger and took a life away in the name of God
what do you think your doing in the name of God

they stood there side by side-watched the life drain from his eyes
with his last word they were together
as his casket took its finnal place
No-one esle knew who had taken his life
except the Girl who had seen that night
With the las t thud her word played in his mind
You say My God is the best; My God, you say
Like you know that it true
Then at the point of a gun you say My God said love one another
HOw much does that gun weight
cause at the point of a gun he stands so true
Yet you pull the tigger and take a life away in the name of God
What do you think your doing in the name of God
It isn't right to take away a life! ! ! ! ! ! In the name of God
