Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

some choose not to indulge
content to follow scripts from the heart
it takes a little courage to come out
of the closet, not just the conventional ones
there are closets all over your house
vegetarian closets, atheist closets,
but when I tell you I think Jesus was only
a man, you give me this condescending look
like I need to be rescued from a secret
only insiders like yourself know about,
and I sense the more we speak
here on the sidewalk, the less you care for me
as you carelessly give the pedophile minister
a free pass ....don't I allow you to be who you are ?
So why is it you hand me these pamphlets
with a picture of Jesus eating a Big Mac,
you've gone too far this time with your zeal...
capitalism and the son of god wrapped into one
tasty snack ?...please leave now, I'm fine
the way I am...Really brother....Hell is Fear
and I've spent a lot of time trying to lose that
state of mind....if you had come here with love
you'd of had a better chance....best of luck
with your endeavor to buy a free pass to heaven
hope it all works out the way you explained it to me,
heathens like me are hopeless....guess I'll just keep
fucking things up

Let's drink to the heathen in us all

The shock me was finding out that if you want" God "to be a cow it is a cow if you understand that cow when he speaks to you ....fine . The poem asks only to be allowed to follow your heart
It is the control of the society that denominations seek the preacher on the street has the authority to tell you that you will go to hell ? Love is every where if you allow it .
There is a note of sadness to the poem .The whole point of Jesus is that it was a flesh and blood man speaking .Say what was said and understand the nature of divine man.
