church

I sat and stood as required, along with the others

Singing hymns, psalms and receiving my druthers

I went for all the right reasons

Community, coffee cake, and religious seasons

Be good to your neighbor, loving, and kind

This I agree with, and try to keep it in mind

Most of them are nice, it’s such a small town affair

A few self righteous though, shake hands with undue care

It will be a while again before I forget and I, I slink back

I will blame it on the few who’s Christian spirit seems to lack

The Inquisition in their eyes just one step back

But perhaps it’s me, whose heart is so black

This does remind me of church, reading the holy bible, singing, praying. ooooo the ending is scary but it works very interesting

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
