Hypocrite

Naseauted by the sermon, by their definition of love brush the taste of vomit off of my tongue. Head screaming, sit in a pew. "lord, the father. My heart belongs to you" assuring the assured, with their egos oh so tall. all the while assuring me I will fall. The screaming masses of bodies The adrenaline, running through everyone in an electric current. The night before that sunday So fun Protesting the church Masked they stand, in clouds of tear gas and hate. Screaming about the right of man. No. She will marry her wife. No matter what these people say. The sunday school teacher, Intoxicated enough to forget the next line in their group chant. Lord the father, my heart belongs to you. Hypocrite. The word rings in her ears.

Aimarie, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
