Losing My Religion

(Poem by Serenus)



Getting to know God…has been on my mind

So how do I become a “Good Christian?”

When I feel like organized crime

Is just a step up from organized religion



With a history of supporting slavery

Worshiping at the altar of hate

Witch hunts giving no immunity

Committing and covering up child ****



The church has become a false idol

And I will bow to him no more

Feeling the only way to heaven

Is through the churches doors



Now don’t get me wrong

The church does plenty of good- it does indeed

And most people have good intentions

But what road do those intentions lead?



Prosperity preachers on TV

The Vatican trimmed in gold

How many hungry people would that feed?

Is money and power the price on your soul?



Highly Hypocritical

Confusing what’s spiritual- With the mythical      

Stuck in your traditions

Tied to your interpretations and rituals



A history of secrecy

The heresy is habitual

Imposing your opinion

A fools wisdom-becomes visual



Condemning me? ...You have nerve

1 John 4:8 = God is Love

So what god do you serve?



Is it just me?

Is my view flawed?

Pushing religion out of the way

So I can truly see God?



I need to have a talk with Him

And ask for a clearer vision

To all of my questions and concerns

He’s the only one that will listen



Because I’m seeking a relationship

With God that’s genuine

And that’s the reason

Why I made the decision

To keep Him and lose religion
