A bible and a crumpled sheet
This is no place where they come to worship
their gods
There is no god in this room
A prayer in between breath hitched
Higher beings, higher ceilings
Do you believe?
(I do
not)
Clasped hands, burning skin
Please forgive me for i have sinned
In the name of The Merciful—
—and the Holy Spirit
You were tempted
I took the bite
Here, heaven is a four-walls
And hell is just on the front door
Please
Please
Please
Just as Eve was begging to stay in Eden
with Adam and the forbidden fruit half-bitten
Please
Please
Please
And so I pleaded
(Recite my poetry with that godly tongue of yours)
