Believe in Love

I was born to a Jewish Mother,
And a semi-Christian Father.
I was baptized before surgery,
But Daddy didn�t bother.

We came to America Jewish,
Receiving Jewish Aid,
But I cannot see the Temple
Without knowing they get paid.

I wore my Star of David
Right next to my Cross.
A silly contradiction,
Notices my Boss.

She said, �You must be neither,�
As I looked at her appalled.
But never told me what she meant,
Just sat there, smiled, and stalled.

I was forced into the Christian Club,
Peer Pressure Junior High,
Attended meetings several times
And could not live a lie.

Whom can our children turn to?
These child-molesting Priests
And cocaine-selling Rabbis,
Money-hungry beasts?!

Believe in love, my children,
Salvation, thus, is near.
Have hope and faith within your souls,
And do not live in fear!

~Oksana Lutsenko

Author: K Koala [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:15:08 01/02/03 Thu Hi Oksana... Another powerful yet compelling read, you sure have a way with words. What you say is so right and in this day and age it seems a shame that the church whichever faith we refer too cannot clear out the debris that makes them a mockery. Well spoken Oksana and keep up the good work. Your Friend always (kk) Alan [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
