She was a sinner
in her own eyes.
She felt just the heavy
ball and chain of guilt
as she played
and God did not play along
but watched on.
Oh, what a judgemental creation!
But he was not her god
free now
from that burden
she looks upon herself
and says:
“I am free.”

I love this!
Good stuff. Very very nicely put. What fools we are as a species to have burdened ourselves with such outdated and foolish superstitions. I very much like the poem.

I should not have engaged with the fellow.
But you know, there are aspects of religion I find beautiful and helpful. Its god I can do without. Except in a purely pantheistic sense.
I love this too. It speaks deeply to me. 😌
Oh. My. God. ❤
