Religion

by Jeanette - Aries

Words thrown at me
with the strength
of a fist
accuse me of having
no God.
Such thoughtless accusations
come ENDLESSLY from
people
whose only kindness
comes on Sunday.
Bite your tongue
HYPOCRITE!
The palms of my hands
are calloused from the
work that I do
day by day to help
the world.
Tell me this:
Will you pass by the 
needy?
Calling, "Wait for Sunday. Pray for salvation."
Will you let the children
starve
on a Wednesday?
Saying, "They went to a better
place."
Bite your tongue,
lest you become 
the serpent's pawn
as the God you
will NOT believe that 
I love
weeps for your lost soul.
Tell me,
Where will you go
if you die on a day
that is not
Sunday?
