ОглавлениеIt’s not any one thing
that makes me wonder
about the capital G.O.D.
About a holy trinity
that don’t include the mother.
It’s all the things.
Just seems as I got older
I began to really see
the way that church
treats a girl like me differently.
Sometimes it feels
all I’m worth is under my skirt
and not between my ears.
Sometimes I feel
that turning the other cheek
could get someone like my brother killed.
Sometimes I feel
my life would be easier
if I didn’t feel like such a debt
to a God
that don’t really seem
to be out here checking for me.
