Baptism

Rain showers reign the earth
Cleansing its tarnished girth
And washing away the sinners
Sins
Sans Judgement
Baptism
Irrigating
Troubled souls
Searching
Searching
For Love
Outside of self
Searching
Searching
For Peace
Thru War
Searching
Searching
For God
In lost religions
Justification unfounded
Sins compounded
Hoping
Hoping
For burdens to be lifted
Coping
Coping
Thru glass pipes
Needles
And
Empty gin bottles
Gettin' lifted
Sex, drugs, rock n roll
Rain showers reign the earth
Save our souls
Wash away our sins
Sans judgement
Baptise in the water
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water, children
Wade in the Water
God's gonna trouble the water..........

  1. I think it's pretty dope! More curious as to how this is intended to be read. Maybe sung? Perhaps rapped. I think it's relative to a rebirth or purification of the entities on this globe, feel me? Reflecting on a pile of tribulation and recycling energy and provoked thoughts about spiritual recon in strange times. I think more emphasis would be felt here when read aloud, yes? No doubt this is a nice read! Composition is in contact, and no struggling to use anything verbally or meaningfully out of place in the subject. Now, perform this. I hope this was not English/Language Arts-like critique.
