Every Sunday I Used To Sit And Listen

I cannot stand
to watch a man
sprew forth
what I believe
with his own
tainted
tongue
his hate
his ignorance
his personal war
on what he doesn't
understand
Oh how lost
I feel
when I see him
emphasizing
in his speech
what he holds true
and denouncing
everything
in this holy war
just for him
slowly turning
us all into
his collective
that is why
I'm sad to say
I cannot stand
to go to church
anymore
I can't even sit
in the back
like I once did
for so many years
because even now
when I go
I see how
so many
have forgotten
what it is to love
teach
learn
and listen
because now
they only know
what it is
to hate
