    Chosen

    Can I speak of God and fail to see
    Mangled corpse on empire’s built


    Chosen means for me and mine
    Despair for you in God’s good time
    For you are so unlike me
    The Son of Man would slaughter sheep?

    God shall never deal the blow
    To strike down mine…I know
    That’s not His hand at all
    I know the truth, you don’t

    My God will lead the troops
    There will be no salvation for you
    By His hand we shall rout you out
    And stand victorious, as you lout

    Only then will you know that death
    Fulfills your purpose on earth
    The chosen have prevailed again
    As passion subdues I see your pain

    You are so unlike me
    Still your children weep
    The Son of Man could slaughter sheep
    I speak of God and fail to see

    Mangled corpse on empire’s built
    In His Name?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
