Hidden

By Dragonfly

A butterfly stroke of oxygen
A tango of your breath
Soldiers marching down your skin
Singing hymns of death

A bell up in the belfry
A rapist in his cell
Each where it should be
Locked in endless hell

I've never been in prayer
Except the times I've cried
Never close to pearly gates
When someone hadn't died

A sinners sin expected
As far as eyes can see
A religious prayer directed
At a sinner such as me

Save your time and prayers
For someone who wants to care
Not saying that I do not
At least beyond repair...
