Church Ladies

Saw you coming; 
          That look of want in your eyes. 
You and your ‘flock' of friends, 
A karma soaking in debts. 
A throne of donation, loans, and foreclosed homes. 
A book you exploit tells: 
Snakes like you he sends alone to damnation 
Church, heaven, hell? 
It all misses the point.. 
A soul you cannot sell. 
‘Non-profit' influence belief (buy with your mind) 
Their Peddling lies 
The manipulator has stories to tell.
