A Herd of Swine

Oh Lord, please put me in the clear
Though a man like  me shouldn't have your ear
It sounds so silly in my mind
To call upon Who I defy
That's why
I'm like a demon now
Praying only to be swine
Oh Lord, I trample out a path
And you ingest the aftermath
I kind of liked that cross of mine
Put it round my neck 
Left you behind
That's why
I'm like a demon now
Praying only to be swine

WoW! Kyle, After I reading your title, your poem is not what expected. I found it to be deep. I echo what Eve said. PS, thanks for stopping by page today. Have a great day-Alexis

Personally, when I petition the Lord, I feel as if pearls from the mouth of a big fool are being emitted. What can I say?!

God is compassionate and love. He shed His blood for us. So now you are a lamb being carried on His shoulders.
