Poem - Spiritual Evolution

We all agreed with Michael Stipe when he said
I’m Losing My Religion,
but God is rampant in our government
the Golden Globes and in our prisons.

For $29.95 you can buy the answers
buy The Secret,
positive thinking, Dr, Phil, the bible
the sources all seem perfect.

We are starving for some guidance
for morality and faith,
search the net, scour the mall
look to some paranormal state.

How is it in this time of science
education and free speech,
enlightenment and wisdom
elude our greedy reach.

We are begging for a prophet,
a guru, a saint,
but we will demonize and persecute
then ask her to repent.

We want our Sheppard to have a penis
God forbid the sacred vagina
For a woman with a mind
Must have the devils spawn inside her

Are we hopeless? Condemned?
Unworthy of absolution?,
or are we merely children of God
Living out our Spiritual Evolution?
