Suggests a guide, source, opposition --- 'Over earth and
ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me' Shelley
OK,
I know it’s reckless
but
imagine you were God – not really God
but more an idea of a lion or lamb or God
and sent a dove into the North-South split
and fished for men inside the East-West
fight.
How do you feel inside your heart and
spirit?
Would you turn out to become a little
cross?
it’s clear
that Xmas day is my mate
John’s birthday
and old glitter on the table,
scissors and sellotape,
will be in play
as two festivals collide.
He’s got the idea
that everything unites
although, as he looks out through
a monocle,
I know that (deep down) too
it bugs him – because
he keeps squinting to the East,
waiting for the next Jesus
coming - the second one
who will turn the table, soften
his inevitable burden.

By God – you did it - didncha?
Put me in here, didya!?
Make it clear, matey
- it’s bin creepy lately.
You see, I dunno whether to fire
in a dark place, this alley,
but I’m scared and ready to volley;
heavy, baby, hellfire.
Preacher says you’re up and about
in the darkening sky
but, me, I’m gonna lash out
to keep misself alive.
Hey angel come down - gimmee a mark
and get mi head on track - sort out mi heart.
Beautiful indeed!!

Yes, it is beautiful. Keep writing, John. You inspire me.
ReplyDeleteThis poem shows how much we need a Savior. Isn't God wonderful?
