Immunity

Immunity

Some churches are like shiny shoes covering stinky fungal and warty feet
Did you know your tongue is the filthiest part of your body?
Come near and let me cut it out!
No?
But do you not cut off the imperfect people among you?
 
 
Sweat glands in your armpits exude a potent stench.
So let me rip them out!
No?
But do you not kick down the dissatisfied who demand justice?
 
 
The world will tell you all about the ones who had an image of God but denied the power thereof.
The Jimmy Bakkers, Carl Lentzes, the Hugh Hefners and Kayne Wests. 
Your Messengers will not tell you about righteous sinners saved by grace,
those Theodoras and Augustines who rose up from the sewers of sexual depravity
 
 
Only slavery sells slavery; 
liberation will not be sold by slavery
 
 
When it rains you notice the rich red brick vividly foregrounding veridian foliage previously invisible
Intense under-exposure revealing what was barren into an estate of a different kind of wealth
   
  
My guilty heart gives blood to all these parts of me without discrimination
Love covers a multitude of sins like this epidermis;
that's why it's the largest organ
  
  
Without love my bones are naked and muted from joining the angelic choir
