We're religious
With traditions
But deny the power
Tear down our towers
Our tongues sharp
We've missed the hearts
We pray as the hypocrites
Just can't seem to get it
We're loud and boastful
Forgot the hopeful
Give money to a place
Deeds done for the same
Just to praise it's name
We're members
Individuals
Connected to denominations
Confused and separated
As if we're serving Satan
Saying Jesus just to please us
Where are you the world asks
Because we've failed the task
Thank you for the disciples
It's them that shared the gospel
We seem to praise a tomb
While they still live with you
Help us do as we're called to do
Appeasing to religion
Just for recognition
Lord forgive us
We're religious

It's true.
Some in days of old said they couldn't support their parents as they had to give the gifts (money, etc) to God. They used it as a religious excuse.
God is dead but it's corpse is still wriggling .
Have you not heard? He has risen!
a very powerful poem. i hope to bring this much power to my poems someday too.
Thank you! Just keep writing, let your heart do the writing.
You hit the nail on the head.
Jesus too was a carpenter
