Poems That Quote the Bible Are Not Poems But a Preach

When some write they quote the bible,
forcing on you some ancient eye fall,
but that's not a poem it's a preach,
some view they wish to teach,
they're no poet,
and they're not original,
they have nothing of their own to say,
they're not even an individual,
they think they're connected to the spiritual,
so it's their duty to also brainwash you.

There's wisdom in the bible, valuable and true,
but if you stop turning to the bible you'll find a wisdom in you,
because your god gave you the tools needed to guide you,
but when training these raw senses you face uncertainty,
and when unsure you turned to the religious community,
and with that you seek wisdom from them and not your own faculties,
so you become distant from what god gave you,
and become part of something that says do as WE do.
God gave you tools and in doing so you're blessed,
so do as YOU do, stay true, and the spirtual will shine through you.
