A Completed Person
Religion to scare us,
the Devil to snare us,
God only loves you if you’re good.
Original sin,
Do you only believe in
the diamond glint of angel wings?
There’s two sides to the coin.
It’s important to join
the nice you,
and the naughty you together.
A completed person
makes a better version,
which we all can understand.
