This Will Offend
This Will Offend.
The prejudice lurks,
a gestating beast,
hate masquerading as faith,
intolerance as belief,
while,
righteous tongues mouth prayers,
beseeching Him for tax-relief.
I tire of the sermons,
spewed forth each day,
threatening damnation,
promising paradise,
while,
blanketed in the cosy comfort,
of carefully crafted lies,
Do not waste your breath here,
I refuse to succumb to your wiles,
take your God elsewhere,
He is not welcome now,
So,
leave me to my fate,
for I refuse to bow.
