Stand back, look where you step,
Watch out, or else!
That dogma is flyin’
Around these parts,
And it might just
Hit you in the heart
Or the face.
Condemnation is waiting
Around the corner,
Behind the pew,
Or the smirk.
Judgment sleeps
With the preacher,
And hypocrisy is cheating
With his wife.
Who else thinks
Sadly of you,
Depends on your claims
Or your profile.
Who will be watching
When you sneeze,
Is only a matter of
Second look.
Who will think
You’re against their own
Depends on your cheek
Or your chatter.
Longing looks
Don’t go unnoticed,
And searching eyes
Cry desperation.
“Just the type!”
They say to themselves.
“Looking for trouble!”
Is on their mind.
So consider this warning
Before you step
Into the doors
Of any institution,
And look both ways,
Before you cross.
Stumbling along the sidewalk 
I ❤ this so hard.
My one tiny nitpick is for the use of “Southern institution”… and not because I am all Suthan myself, mind you. This sort of shit happens everywhere there’s more than 3 humans in spitting distance. Unfortunately.
Still. ❤ so hard.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your honesty and constructive criticism. I will seriously consider changing it a bit.
