Twice now I have had to deal with this unseen �devil�s kiss�.
Again God parent I can�t be because church rules state this:
No un-christened person can take this part,
to guide a child in God�s way even if they are pure of heart.
This is not God�s law, some human made this one!
I�m still disillusioned so I�ll type and carry on.
What of teaching love? What of teaching compassion?
Appreciating simple things and not what just in fashion.
No wonder I went pagan when faced with this before.
Turned to mother nature; knocked on a different door.
I mean, is it not enough just to be good?
This is not God�s law. He�s been misunderstood.
I�m sorry but this burns my arse as I sense hypocricrisy.
They say that being fair and honest is not enough for the deity.
Organized religions; I think some have lost the plot.
You can�t be a bitch all week, go to church and all is forgot!
I hear joker voices echo:�blasphemer� and �heretic�.
Some times this gets under my skin; sometimes it makes me feel sick.
I know my beliefs are confused, but don�t call me heathen tonight.
I just try to lead a good life, and in that I see a light.
