Church

from deceptive conclusions that please society
solemn faces investigate salvation
home-made family concerns seek discernment
immaculate reflection constructs choir
rendering blurred entity entertainment

lent offerings betwixt birth and death
alleviating God given instincts turned sin
church recipient of best behavior
disparaged self-pride plummets to knees
suffering redemption, praise Jesus

poured inequities that fill his son
he begs mercy for whiskey arrogance
pew hosts lonely homeless man
tears spilling his held hipocrisy
visits vagabond, stretching peace with his hand

Individuality
i think a lot of people move into religion for the wrong reasons. it seems to me at times that many do not bother with god until they find themselves in a corner and want a way out, they swap one crutch for another crutch, albeit the religious crutch is usually far better for them than the destructive crutch that put them in the corner. of course not all are that way but in my experience many are. also what i have discovered with people who belive in god, a lot tend to say be open minded and then close their minds to any other point of view. i think it is good to have faith for that helps people but at the same time faith can be very snobbish - sorry, rambling a little here :) a good poem.
