religious hypocrite(are you guilty?)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

he bible-thumps without caring that his words hold no meaning to my life 
he's the one who called my father when i confessed my sin
with C.Fife
he drags us into church for three hours without stopping to
think
that the love i have for those others is the hell that provides a link
the game he plays with your guilt is childish and silly and yet we buy it
because radio and television and movies convinced us to try it
he screams long sermons and whole years of fire, hell and 
brimstone
yet in privacy he surfs the Internet and has hours of sex by
phone
the morals that he preaches are supposed to save and he said
to us what life the bible gave.
still,wasn't the good preacher present at an illegal teenage
rave?
it boggles the mind how you can ask me what religion i follow
because im not an atheist, yet all these so-called religions
sound hollow
so good preacher, let me ask you a question: why don't you
understand
that if you accept god he will reach out his hand?
and on the rare occasions i do go to church and hear what you discuss i feel mistrust
and upon seeing you my body trembles with my palpable disgust.

Reason for writing:

    do you understand?
