Cheating in Church: A Poem

July 17, 2009, 6:00 am

The placard says $2 I give $1.

I'm special, I get a discount, I get it wholesale.

I want the salvation Off the back of the truck.

I'm after the imitation Coach bag of redemption.

Faking it is as close as I’ll get to the real stuff.

But I want the good fake, not the bad fake; And I swear to God I would never pass it off As real to somebody else.

The closest I get to forgiving those who suckered me Is cheating; a con artist, spiritual shoplifter, Blinking, smiling, Sparking this light, Unobservant, unobserved.
