Says the Church

Everything can be fixed--for a price.

Black rain hisses down

Grays your white purity

So you’re a sinner.

Penance must be done

(Or money paid)

Says the Church.

 

Guilty by default

Associations condemn

Because the sins of the father

Stain your shield.

There’s no hope left

Says the Church.

 

(There might be something--for a price.)

 

Your soul is damned

Because you dared to dream

But we’ll burn it out of you

(For a small price).

And dreams will be forgiven

And forgotten

Says the Church.

 

And then your ashes can make you a saint--for a price, of course.

I've had a different take on religion for the past half-year than I used to. I'm not going to spout something off on here for fear of offending somebody. I will say, however, that maybe the church could learn to stay out of EVERYONE's daily lives and just the few people that would like it. Being in a small town, everything revolves around the church and I myself get a little antsy when presented with it and its ideas. Nevertheless, a great write, well done

Churches should only gather money and use it to help people and not use it selfishly. Church is for all sinners to go and find new hope and become new creations in God. So many times Churches and believers recieves bad names for the actions some do etc. In reality some churches just don't follow God's principles. This is how I see it.
