when the pastor died they used the bones as chalk
i will not sin
i will not kill
i will not die
they didnt tell him that it was a lesson in
hypocrisy
and he didnt tell them that
to die was to look inside of his ribcage or
to kill was reaching down his throat and
to sin was what happened when his open lobotomy spilled warm blood onto the altar and stained an empty bible red.
mental illness,
his parents didnt give him that but
could it be hereditary when
like his fathers hairline
he's slipping back, receding, or
relapsing into his old testament where
there is no forgiveness for the wicked
when they find him kneeling, skipping meals
if he prays,
will his mothers recessive dementia skip by him too
