Sunday School

Sunday school is good

for the days when parents need a break

and when siblings need to be separated

by thick walls and numerous volunteers

When we grow inside these classrooms

we leave with copious amounts of background information

The kind needed

for a Bible SAT

if t'were such a thing

Guided wit the knowledge of each play-dough color and taste

How to keep our drawings in the lines

and to refrain from digging in our noses

We have a well kept list

of famously-rehearsed stories

Complete with set designs and character roles

Within out brain for use whenever we please

What Sunday school doesn't foster

is brokenness

Lost hope and fear of the Almighty

Only once these things have been grasped

Can one truly believe

in Sunday school stories

with their heart
