Deep in the Pines


Paranoia 
with an east Texas drawl
Prejudice
against all but all

White hair
Whiter skin
Racism

Religion 
but only God's
Judgement at odds

Holy matrimony
Mental patrimony
from a time before time
with the highest morals 
for all the days of the world

Until gone 
when ghosts roam

Will they find their promised home?

Will they rest in peace?

Will then their self righteous piety cease?

Pretty deep Carley! I'm afraid things may not be as some may want to see it.
