Getting Their Weekly Dosages

It is remarkable.
People actually believe,
They can sit through a ritual...
And transcend their demons.
Like a forgiveness given,
Automatically erases misdeeds.
As if a cleansing takes place.
And one becomes gifted,
With selective memory.
And all is forgotten.
Perhaps that is the reason,
Why some places...
Are so crowded on Sunday,
By those getting their weekly dosages!
With descriptions of sins,
So vividly captured to tempt one's taste.
AFTER deep prayer.
To entice a repeated visit.
