Take Me To Church
Take me to church.
I'm here not to find God.
but to see the carcass of littered stink
in the altar men raised above God
where fiscal appraisal justifies spiritual enlightenment
Take me to church.
This isn't where God lives.
but an abode of jackals waiting to devour unsuspecting prey.
whose only offense is finding solace where it no longer exists
whose end will be in the belly of the beast
Take me to church.
I seek no refuge,
but to ride high on chariots of chaos
taking on the mantle dropped by previous prophets
banishing the demons that dwell in
Take me to church.
to the graveyard of silence
Let me give it a voice.
one that lasts forever
one so loud to the celestial
blowing the trumpet
Let there be rapture.
for I come now
I am the Messiah.
