Best Congregation Poems

The Seven Deadly Sins held a conference deep within
my fragile, mortal soul with destruction as their goal.
Pride took the role of lead, but was monopolized by Greed;
Sloth paid no attention; Anger interrupted the convention;
Envy held a jealous hunch; Gluttony moved they break for lunch;
Every member...

The Pastor and I was carrying a Navy Blue Cloth
The entire congregation followed
There was no singing and talking
We got to this wooden shed
We laid the navy blue cloth on what seemed like a wooden bed
The Pastor announced, “This blue cloth can’t be with us and...

Society
Is a word without real meaning.
Yet society means a lot,
Like: look the other way; look at you with disgust;
Shun and violate.

Society is a sort of congregation of bullies.
A word only used with negative connotations.

A word used when people say:
"Be a productive part of"  
or
"You...

I manipulate summer skin.
You sleep a bitter symphony
Of languid purple vision
As men tongue at black eternity.
Love me if it is frantic and repulsive
For a thousand white milk rains.
My ugly shadow lake boy
Of the luscious chocolate garden
Will whisper through a gorgeous storm
Only to stare at death...

Poised with authority and practiced in posture;
The priest in rehearsed prayer preached.
Hands clasped in deep thought
The whore was still with bowed head.

The congregation were aware; save one in prayer.
Women glanced at their husbands,
Men folk looked up at cloisters.
And God blessed the peaceful and tranquil....

The dogs were lined up as everyone could see.
Are you sure this is the best spot to go have a pee?
I just need to take a p***
I'm not so sure about this!
Hey! Check out that other deciduous tree!...

This congregation of
Dancing white clouds
Breaking bread and
Drinking wine
Taking communion with
The crimson sun...

Gathered in service 
we face our own solitudes, 
sharing perspectives 
we find common ground 
in this haven of hope, 
where friendship conquers friendlessness;
supplicants, worshippers, 
what's in a name? 
together we came. 
In health and in hardship we struggle, 
together we grow....

Rare grand gathering of all animals
was convened one Forgiveness Day
Termites had erected a big cathedral
with woodpecker as carpenter
Monkey was to be day’s preacher
Elephant the bishop took front seat
Leopards, lions, parrots, turkeys, hens
domestic and wild animals whole world
“Peace be with you”, Monkey stated
And with you and...

People of God, lets state da facts
no one is perfect beyond sin or actually Christ-like
but unlike the world we suppose to seek righteousness
forget wrong & right
we been chosen, predestined
heirs to the throne forget 2nd best
so I challenge you to take a walk in my shoes
well...

THE CLERGYMAN, CAMERAMAN & CONGREGATION
 
With booming praise and heavenly devotion,
There stood a powerful pastor, full of divine emotion.
In a realm of faith, where spirits thrive,
The pastor strive to keep bodies & souls alive.4

His words flowed like rivers, reaching every heart,
His sermon sets their doubt...

Gathered in service 
we face our own solitudes, 
sharing perspectives 
we find common ground 
in this haven of hope, 
where fellowship trumps isolation.
Supplicants, worshippers,

together we came. 
In health and in hardship we struggle, 
with God's love we grow....

As I enter the church I felt this vibe
A feeling of joy and peace came inside
My knees become so weak
I was unable to speak
I broke out in a cold sweat
My tears streamed out making my whole face wet
I felt my stomach bold up
I start throwing...

Two church mice scurried along,
rolling their dice and squeaking a song..
The congregation gathered, 
This day it drew a throng.
The little mice quickly hid as the church bells gonged..
The sermon began.
People seated in the pews.
All rose to sing a hymn and sat again for church news..
The...
