This literally came out of nowhere? is it divine? Might be! Either way, please enjoy
The Pastor was over-zealous and shallow
He took the Bible by word
His congregation were like
Deadmans
Brainwashed

His Daughter was scared
God? Too cruel
I'll find god myself
she said

Running
W
O
R
D
S pierce her skin
As the spears
Rejection as she runs

Went against Pastor she did
Gasp
The black walled hall creaked

What will I do?
No love
No hope
No way
I looked up at
that white cross
Could this give me love?
Acceptance? That I am looking for?
Only one way to find out I said
As the blackness melted away
Leaving whitewashed walls in it's place.

Amen
