All the pilgrims gather
for their weak *** Sunday blather
as stained glass saints bear witness
to prayers recited by rote
by the zombie congregation
awash in traditional hypocrisies
Sinners seeking to con their way
into happily ever after eternity
As if salvation can be bought
by slipping some coin
into the collection plate
You best take those homilies
and hymns you sing off key
a tad more seriously
Absorb those ancient words to heart
and begin to walk
the righteous walk
Amen
