Frankenstein Tolerates Frankenstein's Monsters

Thou Shalt not bear false witness....
The ninth commandment says
Unless you're God
Then thou shan't bear witness at all

To the many crimes
And misdemeanours
Of Frankenstein's monsters

All dying to live again
In Eden
That's even further away
Than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's
Dream of a Promised land

Right now
Under the watchful gaze
Of a tolerant and merciful god

The rich
Are getting richer
The poor
Are used to being poor

A black man can't walk
Down the street
Without being accused
Of mugging an old lady

A president
Of the United States of America
Sent hundreds of thousands
Of mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters to spill their blood
On foreign soil for oil

Merciful he'd have to be
To resist the temptation
To smite the heathens

But tolerance
I can't tolerate
Least God could do
Is call out and let us know
Who the two-faced wankers are

Instead it turns out
God's the greatest wanker
Of them all
