You are

[Aaron Graf]

You Are


You are, you are,
Prophets that deceive the masses,
Taught to hate in Sunday school classes.
Free thought is now bleeding,
From the wounds made by your moral beatings.

You are, you are
Using the bible to deceive us,
Instead of trying to emulate Jesus,
Dissent in your following is very rare,
Your lies make you millionaires.

You are, you are,
Priests who bring up holy wars and hell,
Like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell,
Love thy neighbor is crying for help,
From being beaten down by Fred Phelps.

You are, you are,
Nothing more than false preachers!
You are, you are,
Wealthy off of your believers!
Just like the high priests of the old
You use peoples faith to get your gold,
This is mankind’s cycle that seems to never end,
From Jim Baker down to the Sumerians.

You are, you are,
Making a gigantic mountain,
Out of your ignorance,
Those who drink from your moral fountain,
Walk into an endless trance.

You are, you are,
Nothing more than cons and thugs,
You spew out your hatred, on the 700 Club
Christ’s real teachings are your trash,
God to you is nothing, except a stack of cash.

You are, you are,
Judas of the modern day!
You are, you are,
Fake and dead in all you say!
I can’t help but shed a tear,
From all the lies I hear,
You get congregants to give their offers,
People starve as they fill your coffers.

Wow! I really love the relations to typical sermons I have heard and to some biblical sayings.Not to mention the refrences to modern day. You must have experience with preachers,chruchs and sermons. I really can't say much except- Wow! Really great job- I like that your poem shows a basic knowledge of organized religion.

hey i really enjoyed your poem, its refreshing to hear someone talk about how Christianity today has been high jacked by a group of self serving individuals who are using Christianity to spew hate! :)
