Damned Salvation

Sweet sips of the blood of salvation

They drink holy wine as we entertain our demons

I could kill myself 

What would they see?

Maybe it would look lovely if I died by a rosary

Oh so filthy

Intoxicated by darkness 

In the form of purity 

Cover your tainted skin, they say

Use the blood of the lamb to paint, they say

Not even the angel of death seeks to desecrate

The monster 

We want you to be

How long does he have to bleed

I'd rather toast to the devil

Than be in self righteous company 

Author's Note

This poem isn't to mock religion or offend anyone. This is meant for you to think about good and evil. In some cases, those who claim righteousness are the very ones that are the biggest hypocrites you'll ever meet.

[Michael G. Smith]

Christ himself said "natural man is an enemy of God". So sister you profoundly and true. We will always sway towards the evil. What Christ did was gives an option to come back to our birthright of divinity through his sacrifice. Perhaps you may have already known this. I do enjoy how your brilliance explores the burdens of humanity.

I say cheers to freedom, to sating desires and not being forced into complacency, really liked the flow and feel of this poem.
