Churches falling apart
In this breaking many hearts
Judging outside the four walls
Not within that keeps one at stall
We don't need a open door on every corner
But more open within through the transformer
This could be a good thing
For ones to come together and sing
To put Christ first in our life
Not division causing misery and strife
Could we come together with love
The world has enough who shove
To hear one talk of Christ as past
Has not reached out to grasp
We need to see the foolishness of many teaching
God's spirit through Christ is the one to be preaching
To think God how did ones before us make such mess
In your word is the only true peace and rest
The hidden mystery of treasures within
That one can tell the world of your win
We need to have a new awakening
To many lost hearts are breaking

Close to a scandalous ten thousand,
A reproach to the late Reverend Townsend;
All with their advertising megaphones,
And big dreams-nursing microphones …
In my town of domicile
With odds one can’t reconcile
Which I had some time walked miles
With my job-hunting files
That rather handed me victorious counts
Of how their number mounts:
I tell you: A Religious Harassment,
An unendurable embarrassment;
Ten thousand, really a killing figure
For a town wielding not the circumference of Cairo
And herself not lending to vigour
Definable with honest biro …
I still maintain: gong hollowed-out halls,
No Rock Musician would try for his frenzied falls;
A good many of them: a late traveler’s tent,
Whose thanksgivings broadcast Satan’s intent …
Never could be God’s umbrella,
For the catholic Emmanuel and Emmanuella;
Nor altars for demonic exits
From Christ’s patronizing visits …
Christ’s salvation current;
Is unthinkable in rooms of high rent!

In the religion
Of the pigeon
Possessing a feathered pinion
Stands as proof of the opinion
That the pigeon holds dominion
Over all creation
For in the Holy Word
Of this enlightened bird
It is the avian creed,
That not intelligence, but speed
Is the gift that God decreed
For this, His chosen nation.
So in their highest perches
That serve them as their churches
The bird world’s chosen few
Will strut toward their pew
And with bowing neck will coo
In pious adulation.

Hotels to relax local and foreign people come
People reaches to pray Churches why bombs?
Where ever it’s bleeding and killings crimes
But at these churches what’s teaches is what prime!

Gone to churches
Now gone
Pray I God
Your mercy to send
To calm the night
Tremors and
Terrible thoughts
And show the shooters
There is another way
Than at all costs

There are so many false churches, and its hard to say,
which one is true today.
All churches do say,
they are true in everyway.
A church that says Jesus resurrection was spiritual on that day,
then that church is false in everyway.
A church that puts Mary equal to Jesus,(as some do say)
then that church is false in everyway.
A church that says baptism is by sprinkling, (as some do say)
then that church is false in everyway.
A church that says Jesus resurrection was bodily on that day, ( as some do say)
then that church is true today.
A church that puts Jesus above Mary, (as some do say)
then that church is true today.
A church that say baptism is in the name of the Father and The Holy Ghost,
and the body is fully emerged in the water,(as some do say)
Then that church is true in everyway.
STUDY YOUR BIBLE AND YOU WILL FIND WHAT IS TRUE TODAY.

Devils Fill Churches
Say the ones from outside
I, on the other hand find sanctuary
From liberals who tell me how I must think
I only wish peace, good will and a wee bit of gods drink
I open my arms
I hug the entire world
I know there is evil and I know there is good
The paths are many, and I love those who see
Is not the path, but the destination and the destiny
I know I am human
I know I have sinned
I know that we all are made up of same universal cloth
I know, I know nothing, nothing at all
Other than kindness and to love others big or small
Like brothers and sisters together we stand tall
I am humbled when I see the poorest of humanity
Offer me comfort and his only blanket
I may not know what is up there in the stars
I know that kindness is never wrong here or on Mars
I love science and knowledge
I love the diversity of life
Yet some call me evil without ever knowing
The inner beauty in us all, that in the dusk of the evenings
You can see nature’s gifts and the universe still dreaming
Faith you see in not about gods calling
Faith is about the goodness of all of us collectively
Humanity
From sea to see

Did Jesus, his disciples, or other prophets, offer any money to churches?
Or just secrets of God.
Which is more valuable.

Arson in the churches,
Who set up that service?
Bombs for God?
Wicked and odd!
Faith shall survive,
As we are alive,
Fire within,
Never growing dim.
God does not deserve,
Arson in the church.

I entered Church “Ignited” once
Music caused my bones to dance
Although repeating choruses
Reminded me of old chants
Same music just went on and on
Beat was driven deep, through air
All Shouting, falling out was shown
Applause was the crowds prayer
Suddenly, the Crowd began to..
Run around the pews and scream
Forming large circles,two by two
Begging help to form the ring
Preacher slaps a womans forehead
Causing her to fall, and land
I retreated toward the door
Having seen all I could stand

This time people have gone too far.
It's something that is really bizarre.
The law is considering letting people walk in churches with guns.
If this law passes, it will be one of the stupidest things they've ever done.
I'll come right out and say it, I won't give people a hint.
When people carry guns, their chances of getting shot goes up 58 percent.
When people are in churches, what if somebody gets shot?
Some think guns in churches is a good idea but it's not.
Some say it's okay because people have the right to bear arms.
But they'll change their minds really fast if people get harmed.
If they pass this law, it may only be in Tennessee.
It's a terrible idea and the law should leave things be.
God will be very angry if people take guns in the houses of the Lord.
He's probably seeing red and his wrath is something we can't afford.
(SADLY THIS IS A TRUE STORY.)

Rip the ropes to pieces,
Tear the bible to shreds?
Leave alone, dusty and unread
And soon the grip releases.
But his love never ceases.
And is held in my chest by threads.
As the numbers of evil increases,
I bleed many colors of reds.
All the loosened binding chains releases?
The hatred that spreads
With the evil things that are said.
When the line between heaven and hell creases...
The good in the world decreases.

Forget your churches… they are cages for God
That capture only those…with hearts at odd
Looking for salvation…after a life of lies
Soon to be captive… by the prayers inside
