a small warning- this might offend some who may not see the personally directed irony.
Paper Tiger
I want to fight you.
I want to strike down all your
Christian hypocrisy
and replace it with
Christian love.
God judges me no more
than he judges you-
just the same,
we are equals, and
my hypocrisy must exist elsewhere.
I am actively looking for it,
at least I can admit it...
God loves you, so therefore-
so must I...
but I don't.
oh.
Well, there it is.
the search is over.
I've always said that I'm spiritual,
ReplyDeleteif not religious.
I can feel your conflict,
deep within my soul as if it were my own.
I know you feel as if you
are fraying along the seams of your soul
much the same as I,
as we confront these paradoxes every day
and we can only wonder why.
Take my peace with you
dear
you have earned it completely
don't let others make you doubt it
they do not deserve that
power
