Good Ol' Jesus

By skapunkgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I did something that made me grin. I'm pretty sure you won't approve, But Jesus loves me, so i won't move. I killed someone and got away, But I'm confessing, so it's okay. The only way to heaven's gates is tell Him I love him, and then I wait. So what about the other kids Who don't pray to you and don't confess their sins? Can they, like me, bring a gun to school? Will they get to heaven, it's all cool? I don't know why you're forgiving me. I thought you'd say "To hell you flee!" But youth group leader says you're the way. That's what i was thinking yesterday... When that lethal piece of metal was in my hand, I thought that I would take a stand. This one guy had to die, so blue. He likes boys, this isn't true to you! I pulled the trigger, I was being good. It didn't do what I thought it would. His blood was all over the floor, People were shouting "No more! No more!" And so i ran all the way home, Thinking the streets was where I'd roam. That faggot!  He deserved to die! I'm sure you understand my ply. You love me unconditionally, And this is how it's supposed to be.This got angrier than i wanted it, sorry if it offends anyone.
