How did I miss this one when it got posted? I love it! I definitely feel that spirituality isn't all about church. I stay away from those places. I love this part " When I lay me down at night to sleep
I’ll toss in a good Sheppard prayer
For whomever it is to save my soul" Great work my friend. more »

  This was in the latest contest. I did it for shitz and gigglez. I figured what the hell did I have to lose. I do believe in a God, but believe religion is a man-made contraption used for control and manipulation - not to offend anyone else's beliefs of course. I did the religion thing for years, as was evidence in my first book of poetry. I simply don't trust man or his motives. :-) more »

  I agree, I don’t trust man or his motives. I totally think spirituality is a private affair between you and your higher power. That being said I love the wittiness of this poem. Great work and humor. I also love your new name on here. more »

Even though this poem is slightly offensive to my own personal belief in God...I believe he has a sense of humor; otherwise he would have never created such a remarkable poet as yourself! Now go say a prayer and try to redeem your worthless a** :)! more »
