Christian Dystrophy

Trade your desperation for dignity in hopes

That survival can replace the supposed

Salvation of the Bible. Lose the shroud 

Depression slides over beating hearts,

Breaking minds in a cycle preaching 

Can only slow, never stop. Hold on

To the dividers in place, even if the reason

They are still there is lost to us, so long

As there is an other, we can hold

Together. Get rid of your debates or risk

Damnation. Because heaven only handles

The rich, with discretion.

    Gonna be honest I had to read this a few times to really dive deep into the message of this poem. I loved it!! (Also.. I think you’d like my two recent posts Weeds and Pray For Me. Promise I’m not self promoting!! 😅😭 but I would love to hear your insight and maybe some criticism on my writing since you’re such an amazing writer yourself, if that’s ok!/?)
