A or A or C

A new(er) poem...

A or A or C

What have you taken away from me?
What have you given back?
What if I asked you to pray for me?
What if I said religion’s a hack?
What if the truths you have told me
Were just lies you sold to yourself?
What if the heaven you promised me
Was a carefully constructed hell?
What if this world is for suckers?
And the leeches call themselves sane?
But these righteous and poor motherfuckers
Are just roosters atop weather vanes.
