Wooden seats and old men

reading stories I can’t understand

Sickness spreading, people coughing.

This place makes me anxious

“Who needs to be saved and repent their sins”

I don’t know what that is

What did I do wrong?

Scared kids and old men playing God

Live a life that’s good,

and the next will be even better

Live a life filled with sin

and the burn will bless ya

Heat so hot,

your skin will peel

nothing to feel

The angels sing

A thousand songs

I can’t even recall

Who gets into Heaven?

Who gets a pair of wings?

My ears ring

Reasoning gone,

an eternity of empty

nothing to feel

I still don’t know

if I was talking to God

All I heard was

please don’t go to Hell

“I’m telling ya now son,

if you fuck up this life

there won’t be a next one”

Fear of God

Or cold steel bars

Whatever it takes

keep your ass in line

Do you even care?

Does none of this matter to you?

This shit is serious

and you need to listen

These decisions feel like incisions

Grinding my teeth

How am I supposed to know who to believe?

If god and the devil both fell silent

What would you see

the last time you close your eyelids
