Poem on Religion

This is my first Youtube video, so bear with me. Here is the poem text:

RELIGION.


Kneel.

Bow.

Heel.

Pray.

Worship.

Pay.

Submit.

Be saved.

Pray some more.
Your soul is unclean.
Pray until you know what I mean.

Pray and pay, the dirt doesn't leave.
Pray until you really believe.

The filth can't be washed. I know it is true.
Take it from me as I tell it to you.

Listen to us and the sin will be quelled.
Pray enough and the devil is felled.

Nothing can cleanse you, so pray some more.
Yield to the church, and be our whore.

Hope for something to remove the stain.
As we strip you of all and leave you in pain.

When your pockets are empty and you stand alone.
Don't call to us, for we have all gone.

To spend your money on material boons.
Go away fool, and dress your own wounds.


You are of no further use.

J.

Pretty damn good for a first attempt ... moody ... dark ... moving ... keep it coming.

[jailarson]

Thank you. I wrote that one when I was in a particularly sour mood. I think I had been watching the news or something along those lines.

dude, I loved it. Keep up that free spirited individual creativity. I don't see nearly enough in society today. folks seem held back from individual, creative thinking anymore, perhaps to scared of being cast out and pushed away from sheeple who don't even care about them anyway. it's a crying shame.

[jailarson]

My feelings exactly.

(sorry to take so long to respond.)

[Battleaxegunner]

Why do we have the internet?Why does it seem so free?Simply put it removes the middle man theologians that can be swayed.The web gets it from the horses mouth so to say. When will they decide to criminalize free will.Each one of us that has viewed a controversial utube is in the database you can count on that.One day the Patrick Henrys of our age will be given death. It may look like pandemic or they will just own up and take all like Jonestown. Economic instability proceeds war watch2c when.

In living color sings, "You give me power in your gods name I'm every person you need to be I am the cult of personality". Your poem is accurate in that religion seems to exist as a way to segregate the alpha from the omega for real serious violence war. Nationalism is the final plot religion was the face of nationalism but has taken a back seat. After all in the end it is all about corporate $ population reduction more important than all else total control at any cost.

HA! That's one of my favorite shows. Just not on the cosmic level. Yet. :D
