This poem was written about someone that I wish I could have had a long conversation with before she passed over to the next plane.

SHE

 

She

That was

Deeply rooted

In her Christ

Attended church

Mostly every Sunday

As most devote Christians do

 

She

Worshipped Christ

And praised Christ

 

But

 

when

She

Left the church

Apparently

She

Left Christ inside

 

For outside the Church

Her flesh

Was truly flesh

And hatred it did manifest

A hatred that was amended

To adapt to

Her Christian beliefs

 

She

That was

Deeply rooted

In her Christ

Has been laid to rest

And returned to the dirt

But the hatred she harbored

Has been resurrected

In the ones that suckled

Her breast

A powerful piece. The lingering expressed in the last few lines was deeply felt. Thank you for sharing!
