Unbaptized Inside Us
Without religion,
where would we hide
What would be our reason,
could souls justify
What would excuse the killing,
cleaning deaths stain away
What would forgive tomorrow,
for the sins of today
Without preaching dogmatic,
what weight to our words

Unbaptized Words

Unbaptized Words
The contract unsigned,
pen firmly in hand

may go where they please
To my grave and beyond,
the verse teaches and frees
No pity I ask for,
