Growing Up In a Christian Household

Growing Up In A Christian Household 

My dad was such a FRAMER then that I oft just felt like a FARMER,  
No alternative routes accepted, no reasons other, 
Only their special Christian gospel that did mother, 
Slippy slimy slowness, a slave’s sleeve slipped in for sloth.
