There is a soul sickness in the church.
I can smell it on them
As they stumble in to the American Legion on Burma Ave
And proceed to verbally and emotionally abuse the serving staff
Then retreat to their huddled circles
To debate whether their all-encompassing love
Could ever be extended to those whose values differ
From the interpretation they have taken of words spoken by a man (?) much wiser than they could ever comprehend.
Objects, and the Distance Between Them 
Nice poem as always my friend 😀.
Bigotes at their finest on a day they consider holy, ant that a surprise.

Too many who goes to church or have faith, fail to follow the wisdom that is preached before them.
Love, appreciation, acceptance are the message.
Happy Monday.

Sitting in a garage doesn’t make
you a car.
Just as sitting in a church doesn’t
make you a Christ follower.

Christ never
Knelt at the pew and
Chewed a cracker between gritted teeth;
He spoke to the people
And showed them what love could really mean.

“If you believe in justice
If you believe in freedom
Let a man live his own life
Rules and regulations,
who needs them?
Throw ’em out the door, yeah
Somehow people must be free
I hope that day comes soon”
~ Graham Nash
Jesus came to set men free.
In a way, he was the original
hippy ✌️ ☮️ 😎
