Knackered, stuffed, screwed, junked, kaputted ... ? Maybe not in relation to any god, of course. But there seem to be a lot more slang terms for the phenomenon than there are more formal ones.
In terms of your poem, would "ignored" be a better choice?
I've always been vaguely amused by pre-battle scenes of chaplains, who presumably subscribe to the "Thou shalt not kill" commandment, blessing those who are about to do just that in spades. Equally, they always ascribe their god's blessing to the current cause - on both sides of the battle lines at the same time.
Likes a bob each way, hmmm.
