Faith

[soulardig]

Religion has the potential to make
people lazy, compliant, unfazed
by their circumstances I told the
austerely Catholic boy over a
drink The same one who had insisted
that we go find mass just after
fucking on a long ago Sunday
morning I'm willing to trade happiness
for stability he told me He was
at once truthful and regretful with
these words and I had to bite
my tongue I don't believe in
believing that we're just here
to exist until we go somewhere
better As if life and this earth
was just the practice round for
everything else That's blind
faith I told him A little too
blind
