Hiding In the Church
They come in steams, in clusters
some enter you
some leave you
some are afraid of you
some scare you
They enter at will
they leave at will
nothing to do with you
it is all beyond
human reason
You are but a pawn
in this game of cat and mouse
in this battle of spirituality
you need to do
what is necessary
to survive
In the spiritual realm
I find you floundering
I wonder why that is
but there is no answer
no human answer anyway
The spirit (holy spirit)
determines your path
but the others come and go
and there is nothing you
can do but show Love
Hiding behind the Church
or inside the Church
won't save you
you can be the best
preacher in the universe
but hiding behind the Church
covering up your sin
won't do
I can see them in you
I can feel them
come and go
Right now in Church
these are strong
envy, lust, folly,
gluttony and strive .
