[hometext] => this is slightly loong but plz stick with it to understand the full message
[bodytext] => You show up on Sunday to cover your back You drop to your knees, as you genuflect I don't believe your heart is really in it It's only insurance to you, you self-righteous hypocrite You live as a Christian only one day in seven You believe that's enough to get you to heaven Yeah, you think that you've got it made Because you dropped an extra dollar in the offering tray I see you standing there with a tired look Lip-syncing hymns, having never cracked the holy book I don't mean to test your faith or cause you distress You should send your prayers to the right address Shouldn't you be praying directly to God Instead of petitioning saints or His mom I believe one should go straight to the top I'm sure He will pass all your requests on Because we live in an open society It seems there is one God for you and another for me Praying to angels, saints and other deities is false idolatry There is only one light that any of us will ever see I don't see visions in the bark of a tree Mildew stains turning into Mother Mary You say I don't see because I don't believe I say you see because you are lost and need to see Organized religion was created to control Only a political business, not here to save your soul I believe one should follow the goodness in the heart God has a plan for all and we will all play our parts Many men have murdered claiming it was God's will But wasn?t it God that gave the law ?Thou shalt not kill? Those who do the slaughter sacrificed their honor for pride This is the reason that, in His name, so many millions have died Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus and the Christ killing Jews Are damned because they don't believe the same as you do You say, on heaven's gate there is a sign It reads ?For Christians Only?, all others go to hell, so get in line The first shall be last, the last shall be first You can torture and murder every being on the face of the earth On your death bed, with your last breath, you repent Through the pearly gates you are immediately sent While the person who lives his life just like he should Does nobody any harm and all of his works are good He will suffer and burn in hell for all eternity All because he does not believe in Christianity Nature is full of God and his complexities The rain falls on the good, the evil, you and me The golden rule is the only way to be I will treat you the way I want you to treat me Follow that one rule and no commandments would ever be broken There would be peace on earth, no lies would ever be spoken But this is a dream that will never ever be For we are only humans and our hearts overflow with lust and greed We all do what we must do each day to get us through Every morning I say, today, I will try to follow that golden rule Well, that is my philosophy and my point of view And in the end, we will all be revealed the truth [comments] => 1 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 43 [informant] => SocialMisfit [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
