A liquor store is a liquor store
No matter what you go there for
The things they sell may've different names
But basically it's all the same
If alcohol is sin—then it is sin
Doesn't matter which store you're in
So to all of you "holy" religious folk
Who have to have your rum and coke
When you enter the liquor store,
(No matter what you go there for)
Don't worry a bit about who might find ya
The people in the next pew are right behind ya
There's no need to drive far out of town
Jesus is the only one who will frown
(NOTE: I am not saying alcohol in and of itself is "bad." I am simply pointing out that so many religious people put that stigma on it; yet, so many of them do it in private. The hypothetical "if" is in there because IF drinking alcohol is a sin, then it is a sin, even if no other human sees them do it. It seems that no one is concerned about what God thinks of them; they are concerned with what the fellow church people think of them. It is as if they have forgotten that God sees everything and that the people next to them in church are not the ones giving them passage to heaven. This applies in so many other aspects of life, not just a measly glass of wine. As you have probably guessed, this was indeed inspired. Oh, and I know it is not a "good" poem, technically speaking, but when I sat down to blog it just kind of come out.)
