A Religious Mess

You look down your nose at me because of what I write Your nose stays in the air because of how I live my life You are always preaching to me, quoting the KJV Reciting scriptures from Deuteronomy and 1st Timothy I have one for you and it comes from Matthew "Judge not, that ye be not judged," so get a clue No one died and made you God So please put a stop to your facade You are a wolf in sheep's clothing A hypocrite worth loathing Your religious quips don't faze me one bit Just how judgmental can one person get? Jesus loves me this I know And I don't need you to tell me so Preaching to me your hostile gospel Not caring if I'm Baptist or Pentecostal Ranting and raving like my soul's on fire Listen to me, you're preaching to the choir I was raised in the church, so I know of the Bible Should I listen to the Word from a fraudulent disciple? Maybe so, heck, even the Devil know the Word At least that was said in some sermon that I heard... There's something, not Biblical, about living in glass homes That if you do, you probably should not throw stones Stop pretending that my sins are greater than yours Because we'll both be standing at Heaven's doors I am not perfect, far from conceited I treat everyone the way I want to be treated Why are you pressing your religion so hard? Is your Holy Bible acting as your safeguard? Protecting your skeletons buried deep in your closet? Hiding the secrets that you don't want to admit? We are ALL sinners in the eyes of our Lord That's Romans 3:23, just for the record So remove your own specks and the hypocrisy as well Before you end up with a one-way ticket straight to Hell

Hi, Constance again a poem of profound feelings. no one should have to put up with this type of behaviour, those that use God to foster their reasons, are the lowest of the low, and will surely be punished one day. as you say a one way ticket to hell. harry

A clever, inventive, rap-like piece...and this from one (me) who is usually overtly "antireligious..."
