Title: 'TITHING'

Tithing is not,
An addition of goofy technology
To a Church fund, for teenage
Experiences of personal rage
Against experts on climatology.

Tithing is,
One tenth rhythmic syncopation
Sacrificial as a 2 winged midge
With offerings from Church aisles to bridge
A stringed alternation.

Tithing is not,
A levy of one ode
Or magnetization
To counterfeit legalization
By some immoral toad.

Tithing is,
The funding of Church bait
By a quicksilver apostate
With grounding ramifications
For unimagined capitalizations.

Tithing is not,
A part of some cat
With a chant-like format
And folk-tale personality
Or one tenth only, Spirituality.

So...

Tithe like,
A tenth insight
For a songbird neophyte;

Tithe not,
Like a levy, for the weak
Or the hydrogen peroxide meek.

Tithe like,
An offering signed in ink
So the Church stays in the pink;

Tithe not,
Like funds, for group prayer
Merely tossed, in a collection tray.

Tithe like,
One tenth of, a sacrificial lamb
Sketched out, in lyrical diagram.
