I like the look of old stone churches
in England
standing strong for hundreds of years
splendid works of architecture
though ancient, to me they
look as good as new
better than the modern churches
made of wood
inside the stately wooden pews
and minster’s pulpit grace the interior
sadly many of these stone churches
have been abandoned
some of them are alleged to
have become haunted
some have been turned into
nightclubs
the worship, the prayers, the God
in them dead.
