Better Religion

‘I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.’ Sorry, Lord; it’s no longer you. I rid myself of your religion, purge the poison That had me bowing down to humans being You. Pretend prophets and sacred sinners Defining my worth, decrying my world, Condemning my life in the name of Your Word. Preach no more, as I profess my love to another. My sister has the first gospel, I have the fourth, And that’s a better religion for us both.

Religion is man attempting to reach God.. its hopeless and dead. Only God could come to us!

Very beautifully written makes you think of a sunset beach. Toward a renewal you have encountered very good meaning in piece. Let the words trickle down your mind through your thoughts. You made a decent stab at it very creative piece you got this very good. Thinking of a rainbow moment with words its a stretch of the imagination. Just some thoughts about this piece, True words true to life really beautiful in its form.
