CHURCH DEMON

Sent away from the church To keep her hipsters away And that almost transparent dress That terminates Several inches above the knees Told that she was, A stumbling block to the sheep Soiling the mind of the male congregation The pastor still in the brackets Denying the chosen ones The power of the Holy Spirit And the Spirit of God was moving Above the surface of the waters When Adam and Eve were very naked. Told she stirred the Spirit of desire The spaghetti dress Starting too early and ending too late Cooking immorality in the society Hungry men, say lustful Evil minded Yet they claim the Spirit reigns Overcome by their selfish nature A willing Spirit But a weak flesh They blame it on the church lady And I have never seen A bull rape-and-murder And never seen also A dressed Freshian cow And they call her church demon.
