Crucifixation

I'm not anti-religious but my first wife uses her religion as an excuse to treat me as less than a human being. This was the result of that treatment.

Religion your platform of disgust

Wanting a sudden change in me

Wanting my prayers to your god

Or unworthy you will you call me

Something is amiss though

As it seems you too have right to judge

I must have read the book all wrong

So odd you have such staunch views

When to light your life of sin revealed

A child and you suddenly see "the light"

Condemnation for me while you toil

A web spun behind me

Claiming I am the wandering lust

When you were playing your game

Behind me coveting another

Casting the first stone to hide your guilt

Never striking with hand or foot

Yet words like iron upon my ears

Cloaks, veils, and shadows afoot

Even the closest blinded by your ruse

Justice truly blind to this all

Neither of us without issues

Yet I covet no one but you

You were my first

That place I can not deny

Myself naive to the signs

Look back with 20/20 clarity

Names and thoughts of me dark

Yet I do not mind

I can sleep at night

No problem looking in the mirror

I wonder at times

How you can deal with this all

Anger in your heart

Words like whips

Lashing me at nearly every turn

Bit the again I don't really care much

I am who I am

You are who you are

You may claim to high and mighty

Superior to me in every way

My question is your morality

As I wonder if we were upon a scale

Which way the needle would tip
