Hiding in the Church

"Hiding in the church" he said.
A reminder of how the biggest
Opioid in America
Is its religion.

Especially evangelicalism.

All talk and hymns and praise music.
Me and Jesus.
Jesus and Me.
Jesus forgives.
I'm saved.
When I die.
I go to heaven.
Or, with a little luck (Ha),
Jesus comes before I die.
And wipes out the bad guys.
With his guns blazing.
Muscles flexing.
What a Jesus, white and beautiful.
Beautiful and mighty.
My Jesus ... mine, mine, mine.
All mine.
And then I go to heaven.
*Fold hands now, sing piously, eyes closed, sway gently*
Let the world know how much you love Jesus.

And the opioid does its work.
Hiding in the church.
Woo hoo ...
