Godless

woman sings take off
all your clothes and
she does it, right
in front of your
infant and right in
front of your too-
Christian parents.

2

Do not praise the
woman, for she has
sinned.

3

Sin is a naked woman
slinking herself
across your piano
kissing in the
distance.

4

Those who sin
do not get to
Heaven. Those
who sin do not
tempt Christ.
Those who sin do
not tempt us, for
we have found
ourselves in the
blood of the Lord.
