Dirty Preachers

p/n: this is not for everyone. It contains some foul language (although some have been blanked out) and adult themes.

"Dirty Preachers"

"sit down and bow
pray for forgiveness of your sins
let me penetrate you
let me in"

sweet girl knows of no limits
in front of the Virgin Mary -
she is taught a lesson
those were bloody tears rolling down her face
or could it have been the tearing of my soul?
as you let yourself in
my young skin tore
as that pint of blood hit the floor

the glass floor I came to respect
took all of our beatings without keeping the mess
couldn't tell if god was watching
sitting there like a porno major
sticky sweet substance on his hands
and spit dripping from his lips

so now I'm 13
on adult TV
sucking my thumb -
really sucking that preacher for some kind of love
to feel accepted and welcomed
that's what he promised:
"you want to be just like the other girls
don't you, don't you
don't you?"
he'd claim - he had just claimed their innocence

and I saw Jesus
come, come, cuming off his cross
"join in - it's free"
the old preacher man said

and then they wonder now
why I've boycotted Christianity
and they feel no guilt in asking why
they always need a reason
why you don't believe
god himself f**ked me
(so I ask of you)
why should I conform to him?

[glow=purple,2,300]if it's one thing that i don't understand about Christian religions (especially in Catholic Churchs) why are priests/nuns/etc... forbidden to marry or have companionship, i mean, they're only human. i don't know, i'm not a very religious person but I do believe in God and there are just some things i'll never understand when it comes to religious practices and what not. that is just my opinion though, please do not take what i just said offensively in anyway.

anyway, i really hope this piece wasn't based on personal experience if so, i am truly sorry as well. [/glow]

Priests are supposed to abstain for companionship because to most it is the ideal life, being a virgen is ideal. It started when Eve bit the apple. She could not hold out on that one pleasure. They feel that by abstaining, they are sacrificing carnal pleasures. They understand that in order to keep the worl going people need to procreate, but they also believe that those who do are living a second rate life. It also shows that they are closer to "god" in a sense that if they can sacrafice carnal pleasure, which is an inborn human trait, that they are recieving the power directly from "god" and that means that they are higher in the pyramid of life... do you understand at least a little bit? It is hard for me to write it out... it would be easier if I could speak to explain...

[glow=purple,2,300]I see what you're saying... but, well.. why? I mean, why are Priests closer to God? I thought God sees everyone as equals... Does God really expect some individuals to sacrifice their human nature, human nature that He, gave us? I mean... if every single human being on this Earth would turn around and change their ways so that they can reach that higher status with God that Priests seem to have... humanity would seize to exist. Wouldn't it? Reading over what I just said... sorry Splitpersonality, i do NOT want to make this seem like a debate or something, I really am just trying to understand... [/glow]

lol... no i totally understand what you are saying... I don't get it either. My husband is catholic and he has tried to explain it to me as well... I have always been taught that all men are created equal and that means preists too as far as i know... I mean they are human right? I don't think preists are any "closer" to god than you or i... that was just the way it was explained to me...

This is a very moving piece. I hope that you haven't experienced this yourself but if you have, I'm so sorry. This is very emotional and a very good. Thank you for sharing this with us.
