The church

I thought we all had the same goal
I thought the task was clear 
now all I do is question 
what im doing here 
sides are clearly formed 
but I refuse to pick a side 
all of this back and forth 
is making me lose my mind
There is still alot 
that I do not know 
but im pretty sure this 
is not how its supposed to go
Most people are more concerned
with spilled tea on the floor
then the hurting people 
that are walking out the door
I did not realize 
there were politics at church 
what ever happened 
to just preaching the word
lights camera action 
lets put on a show 
it does not really matter 
if we heal their soul
This just does not feel right
something here is wrong 
and now i no longer 
Wish to play along
