Nail Me To the Cross Again

Lay down rules to follow isolation of sins and tears the plan known only to God find power in the innocence of fear Dominion betraying duty quoting verse, chapter and creed pompous braggarts revere dictate the path of greed Defects of man raised by devine intervention the cost in souls to feed the need patterns and rules to which I must bend to claim success, the lies to breed How I may strive to live a life devine your darkened soul perverse in vice how you tell me to surrender to your faith I should give my life What you tell me God is, should I believe? should I lay down and die? common sense tells me otherwise no longer can I follow your lies

"patterns and rules to which I must bend to claim success, the lies to breed" stood out to me most. Thank you for bringing me to this poem, Stephen. It's VERY satisfying being reassured that there are others on this site that raise their eyebrows to religion. All that talk just DOES NOT convince me <3
