Corrupt CrossA Poem by Kelsie Stoner
A highlighted bible stashed under my bed
Golden edged pages and leather When you open this book you'll find not the good word But the cutout for a bottle of liquor When in the next room they all kneel by their beds And try to recite the right prayer They think that the path to righteousness lays In the very way that they say it The man at the church that puts thought in their heads As he holds up his nose to the sky His white collar's dirtied with Mary's red lips And he'll be welcome in hell when he dies The last and the least is the only one left He's the one everyone knows The wondrous creator, time-waster, war-maker It's his fault where everyone goes © 2011 Kelsie StonerAuthor's Note
