I once went to a church
I truly did not want to go to

They sang
Of love
Of mercy
Of forgiveness
Of acceptance

Then demanded money
And preached of the devils
Who loved those of the same gender

How we, as Christians, are not special
But have the duty to "save" those
"Poor
Lost
Souls"

To save those who are apparently not worthy
Of love
Or mercy
Those who cannot be forgiven
Or accepted

We are not special
And yet we must prove ourselves
Superior
To those who are true to themselves?
