On Sundays

Rip off the roof
Please peer in
You wont see
Any suffering, they know you are looking
Only one is in the corner
Of this living joke
This is the game we are all 
guilty of.
On closer peering
You will see
Dancing with fear,
accidents, "I'm sorry", threats and corruption
of souls.
Peering in on Sundays
You will see
the congregation praying
Hard for their ungodliness
However the sins
of the family
of the father
are never spoken here,
there,
Anywhere.
And if you look
scan hard enough
You can see scars in my eyes.
