monetize and institutionalize
is the way to gain the modern prize
marriage isn't affirmation of love
it's a 10-grand headache
as the IRS sits above
funerals aren't celebrations of one's life
they're ways for the fat cats
to profit off your strife
churches aren't for learning about god
some pastors make six figures
now isn't that odd?
you wonder why you're in so much pain
grasping at straws attempting to stay sane
unclench your palms from those useless umbrellas
go outside, and dance in the rain

the title has been, and will forever be—my username on this site. this one hits deep for me. am i content with the way i articulated it? maybe, maybe not. perhaps i'll go walk in the next rain shower and afterwards head back to the drawing board
