My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to.


I am not my mother's.
She belongs to hard
wooden pews, in a
remorseless chapel




where
I have no place.
Her coercion is
relentless. The
sound of her voice




is
that of a sinner,
for she claims that
we are all evil,
all damned. But if




your
very soul is lost
to brimstone, why
bother to pursue the
impossible mercy of




god?

A very interesting take on religion and well worded. I don't believe that all religion is like this, but you bring up good pooints in this great poem.
