Vanity, A Faithful Disposition

Baptism        
       
Golden ticket.        
Too rare to die,        
Your best version        
Is upwards bound,        
Indemnity.        
       
Angel        
       
Always guarded.        
Hospital says 50/50.        
Medicine fails,        
But only Jesus        
Saves.        
       
Prayer        
       
Dirty beggars.        
Polite request,        
To forsake all others.        
Race to win,        
Advantage needed.        
       
Spirit        
       
Watching over.        
Singing and chanting        
To the dispossessed.        
These fools don't know        
You're special.        
       
Confession        
       
Freedom.        
Destructive desires,        
Everything forgiven.        
Faith at all costs,        
Preservation.        
       
God        
       
Money speaks,        
To glorify his name.        
Poor neighbour,        
Needs to pray more        
To find success.        
       
Preacher        
       
Perfect pitch.        
Says the earth is round,        
But the placebo effect        
Is a true miracle,        
Double-blind.        
       
Church        
       
Built to last.        
Tall walls and        
High windows,        
Impenetrable community,        
No one is alone.        
       
Bible        
       
To contradict all others.        
Immutable stories        
of the past,        
Re-engineered        
To tell your story.

Author's Note
A poem which summarizes my disappointment that humans have not moved beyond the fiction of the past. Society is still stifled and bound by the hypocrisy of irrational belief systems. Too much control and money involved to let a "good" thing go...
