church bells
the church bells are ringing
losing their luster
less people singing
rules need a duster
for people do not care
modern times change
tradition beware
believing too fully is "strange"
now, people believe in themselves
individuals too powerful for God
too far one delves
give it all up for earthly plans flawed
the church bells are ringing
losing their luster
for the bible they are flinging
but if it helps themselves, they cluster.
on the ironic intention of social media
posting pictures on social media
used to be all
about pictures
that made me feel pretty
now it's pictures
that I think others will find pretty
it doesn't matter anyways
i'll just delete them later
because there are so many
other pictures posted
by those flawless women
that are more worthy
of site space
than my lame attempts
at beauty.
Angel
She was an angel
Fallen from the sky
He, the devil
Comprised of sin and lust
He hid behind his angelic grin
She could not see past his disguise
So she accepted him
And corrupted she became
He took her down a path
Of irreversible destruction
She didn't see it
But he was twisting her soul
Into his own masterpiece
Until she became an angel of darkness
For a moment she caught a glimpse
Of his true being
But by that time it was too late
She was caught in the charade
And her world had gone black
And her heart, empty.
