Idealistic stiflings
A Poem by
Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks
Stunting the growth
of our spirituality
with the stiflings
of our religions.
Idealistic judgments
thrown outwardly
toward anything
but ourselves.
Our children
pushed closer
to hypocrisy
behind curtains
of curiosity.
Humiliated parents
with plastic faces
and pressed clothes
in wooden pews.

Damn good piece. You've pointed a flaw in ourselves and our societies. Check out my piece "Hypocrisy" when you get a chance.
