please shut up

you're the Tower of Babel
your words travel
as fast as the Mississippi
slurps and slithers

news travels fast these days
(thanks to you)

you're hungry as a fat hippo
and you eat everything you hear
no wonder you're so bloated
and i wonder why people don't like you

news travels fast these days
(thanks to you)

Author's Note

Christians are supposed to be the least judgemental people, yet I find that they are quite the opposite.
Getting a lot of the stink eye at the Private Christian college I attend about my recent divorce, but they don't even know the reasons behind it. . .

Err I'm sorry to hear this. Trust me, there are some really awesome Christians out there. Look at me, I have been judged as well.. But I just blocked their ridicule and I have since found a wonderful home church :)

That said. Wonderful poem! :) I love your word choice and the way you used them :)

yes, they are quite judgemental...i worked with a born again christian for many years at the restaurant where i used to manage.

and wow, talk about a back stabber...it was awful...

they talk a good game, but only the real christians are silent most of the time...and actually just live like christians

this poem is a keen insight on those who preach a good game, but don't follow their own rules.

cute chorus

Whatever title(s) people want to represent themselves with, religious or not, people are just people, and people love to judge. Which is funny because I don't think there is a person alive who should be throwing stones from those glass houses. Anyhoo...sorry about your recent divorce. Whatever the reasons, it isn't my business, I am just sorry for the pain. I have lived it so I know how hard it is.

On a side note, "you're hungry as a fat hippo" made me laugh. So thank you :)
