“Opiate of The Masses”
I was conceived in worry
6 of 7,
Curled into a fetal position
mother’s womb a warm deluge,
Now I wonder if the squeeze and
push was worth the juice,
Obviously, she cried Jesus
Keep me near the cross and heaven,
The world blurred my vision
I thought I have things to prove,
God knows I called on Jesus
But I ran wild with the boys and Jesús,
Sunday go to meeting
Communion bread unleavened,
Selfishly inflict this inquisition
Often embarrassing and so rude,
Scenes open, curtain closed
Contemplate all faith being a ruse.

This month’s challenge has truly allowed me to put out some expressions that I didn’t believe would be received well by my audience here at home.
