the mega party church

it was a mega church.
an enormous
cavern
with a good sound system.
plush seating
and no
kneelers
like in the old days
where you
knelt and prayed.
no, here you stood up
and sang.
you threw your arms
into the air
and shook
like a basket of fries
in hot oil.
no need to pass the basket
around,
here
they put an app on your
phone
for automatic withdrawals
and deposits.
there was no talk of sin,
or redemption.
no mention of the blood
of Christ,
no talk of shame.
it was more
about live your best life,
prosperity and fun.
smile
and be happy.
come often.
come again.
bring a friend.
