Pastoral
by
Daniel Bradbury
An all American pastoral
Good Christians sinning in cars.
Wallowing in self induced unworthiness.
Homely & plain & unimaginative
They herd into ttheir pews & go stagnant.
Wake up!
You aren't less than God.
He's not a malicious tyrant.
I don't know Him,
But something sure is there
Maybe not in heaven or in the air
But in us.
In you and me.
I am on the level w/ God.
I am God.
You are God, however little you may want to admit it.
You're just weak & worried,
Live life for today,
For you & me
He understands
Live life, you Good Christians,
For you, not Him.
Stop conditioning your children,
Live & let them live.
There can still be a God,
But you don't have to be worthless.
