Renee' Poem by Randy McClave

So, I say this Renee'
In Church will they even let you pray,
Are you ever allowed to be a Sunday school host
Are you then questioned about the holy ghost.
So sad it is that when we pray
That the Church congregation always looks the other way,
They judge us by our clothes or by our hair
But, you know what, God is also there.

I go to Church just to worship the son
We all want love and fellowship for everyone,
I don't ever go to Church as a jest
I go to Church to feel and to be blessed.
When in Church, and I see those wondering eyes
I then see bigots and hypocrites and wolves in disguise,
And when I see or feel that look I just give a smile
As I know that one day God, will put them all on trial.

If they ever say that the spirit is not inside of me
I will tell them that they are blind, but I can see,
Renee' I know how you feel I truly do
Once long before I had also worn your shoe.
The advice that I give you is free and spiritual to give
Always be happy, not judgemental, and help others and live,
And when they pass to you the collection plate to pay;
I would say this to you, just walk away Renee'.
