The Community of Believers

Join our community of “believers” And be shocked by our beliefs You might think we’re moved by love But it isn’t quite what it seems We “believe” in social cannibalism We tear each other down And when we’ve had our fill We go for another round We “believe” in church politics We vote for the lovely and fair We push for those whom we love Not for those with savoir faire. We smile and sing and pray a prayer And give a nice warm embrace But if we see you outside church We won’t remember your face We strongly “believe” in equality In empowering the weak But then we forget that ideal When we don’t let people speak We “believe” that we are called To save dying humankind But to the needs of those around We tend to be most blind Come join our community of “believers” We "believe” in “the Holy ME” Yea, you thought it was all about The holy Trinity Well, that’s ok, just join the club We’ll be a jolly band A band of true “believers” Who won’t lend a helping hand!

I agree with Richard's comment. This is really a powerful poem. The fifth stanza is biting true. Always, Laura

Thanks for your encouragement, Richard. I'll look into it when I get back. Hard to do on my mobile. Hugs
