Day: January 16, 2026

Saw a YouTube true crime show
about a minster who killed his wive

married a new wife, seemed happy
but eventually killed her too

I know the allegedly devout have killed before
yet it always surprises when the religious kill

you would think they’d fear divine retribution
dying into something like a never ending hell

and I cannot understand how they could kill
why they do not have the inhibitor most have

against murdering another human being
perhaps they are psychopathic in the worst way

no qualms, no feelings, no restraints
taking a life easy, even if religious or a minister.

I’m not a church goer,
but I hate to see abandoned churches
I see many of them in the United Kingdom
in various YouTube videos
old houses of God turned to empty relics
no longer attended, God forgotten
some supposedly have ghosts in them
most are just dusty and empty
some have graveyards around them
or behind them
as if the church members
and the ministers
all died and are buried in those graves
with no children, no new members
to keep those dead churches alive.

I’d fish days
I’d fish nights
but I didn’t fish for food
I fished for sport
wasted the fish, let them die
but when I got older
I think early twenties
I couldn’t fish anymore
I couldn’t catch fish for fun
waste them, let them die
I feel that was evolutionary
I feel that was spiritual growth.
