Poem

I don't know about Archbishop Justin Timberlake, 
He’s jazzing up the church, 
Making Jesus controversial, 
Leaving life in the lurch. 

It’s fine to have excitement, 
About any religious thing or assumption, 
But when you poke at liberal creeds, 
You’re with the discontentment presumption. 

The liturgy does not gel with Sankey hymns, 
Which parishioners should not be made to sing; 
Fundamentalism is on the way out, 
Of Christianity’s credibility wing. 

It is emotionally abusive, 
To atheistic in-house kids who want to aspire, 
To tell of the insanities, 
Such tunnel vision requires. 

Although I am glad of his enthronement - 
It lets evangelicalism out the bag, 
I hope to return to a more liberal clergyman, 
For the future church ‘mag’. 

Fundamentalists won’t admit to the speeches, 
Given to their kids who are silent prey; 
It’s not fair to live in a society, 
Which allows only the understood to convey. 

Pluralism is the glasses by which we all see, 
Humanism, atheism, religion, and irreligion too, 
And the Archbishop is therefore acceptable, 
As a beacon of what fundamentalists do. 

Freedom of speech and expression, 
For some, will only come when we know such acts, 
Societal change comes simply from people, 
Who’s concepts and ideas become assumed facts. 

He was not that successful at decking Wonga, 
Anglicans can't quite compete, 
With open market transactions, 
Which have seemed to withstand the heat. 

I don't validate high-interest lenders, 
But the church should stick to God, 
It should be more into caring, 
For the elderly, all on their tod.
