Misconstrued Worship

Unload your appraised earnings in the collection baskets, small price to pay for holy water's kickback, God thundered an indignant snort 'pon gold filled prospered coffers within corporate excesses of enriched gaudy churches, wondering when HIS word had begotten misconstrued in clergy's interpretations of powers' self-aggrandizement and pontificating gratification; whilst the huddled masses were starving midst the pews

Some people donate with their mind, hoping to bribe their way into heaven; I am sure God won't take kindly to that! Others donate by heart and leave their good deeds to intervene for them. Regards // paul

Open for business, right here under this steeple. Deep Paloma, a touchy subject but so true. So, if money is the root of all evil, why do they expect it in the plate. I don't mind giving when the need arises but don't give me that look when it's not enough. Ok, I'll shut up now. Loved your poem.
