just my opinion on churches
What pushes me away from these holy places
Is my lack of understanding
For how the word of a God
Can be spoken in human tongue
We are made in his image
Not his power
I believe if we were to speak
The actual word
The true language....
How can it be originated within gold
Beset with crystals and diamonds of uttermost clarity
And then tried to be
Made from copper and zinc
set with zirconium
The word is altered
It's no longer beautiful
And as it's passed from
Writing to fathers mouths
it's quality only decreases
It goes from crysstal clear waters of truth
To poisoned lead filled tap
That you expect us to drink
Will it not poison the soul?
I am not allowed to love my God as I do
The moment I step into his "house"
The snakes within spread rumors
I am a good catholic I love my Lord
And yet you talk about me!
There in front of him
I can't stand this place
Is my lack of understanding
For how the word of a God
Can be spoken in human tongue
We are made in his image
Not his power
I believe if we were to speak

The concept of the poem I really like.
I cared more about my spiritual relationship with Christ than following religious rules.

First there was the WORD
And we have yet to replicate it. We can artificially create diamonds but not resonate crystals into being? Maybe we're supposed to worship from a distance, reflecting on wisdom and focusing up close on the up close, on the hocus pocus, what's AROUND US?
In his image, but not in his power. Better to keep discovering. Church is robbery without guns. You come in, you get on your knees, drop your head, look up, and you're holding a bible, they're holding your money.
