I apologise if I offend with this poem - it isn't meant to. I had just had a really bad experience when reading through forums.catholic and I found what the majority of people were saying horrifying.Jesus was a God
Or so I have been told
By the true believers
Those who deserve the worldYou’re not allowed to think
Your sight’ll be too clear
Christianity dictates,
You’re kept in line by fear.But if you could you’d see,
What I have always seen.
Watching with my eyes
Not through a TV screen.And if you could you’d know,
What I have always known.
Your lives are all controlled
Not as free as they’re shownAnd yes, there is a trinity.
But it’s not a holy search.
One people, one government
One everlasting church.There’s no separation of church
Nor state. It’s impossible
The church rules the people,
To make its coffers full.It dictates the votes
And so politicians must pray
To show their devotion and faith
They have to swing the church’s way.So brush away the film
That is in your eye.
Look clearly, think individually,
See the truth behind the lie.You’ve only got till death,
For some heaven is reward.
For others it’s the end –
Love Jesus Christ the lord.Or you’ll be told off all too soon,
By an ever-present spirit.
Show them you’re not scared,
Tell them you don’t fear it.And so I say ‘fini’,
My message is at the end,
Take my meaning in,
Treat it as a friend.
Excellent, never be afraid of your personal opinion. The world is filled with individuals.
