Futility and Humility

Futility and Humility I have often found that failure and futility Should never have a home with humility When what you really need is the ability To separate surfacing sin from senility. Maybe so many of us might wear a mask Then try to avoid each and every task And outside in sun surely to bask in it While of much wine empty another casket. Reached church and in it had a horrible high Put nothing in and let collection plate pass by I never committed a sin or ever liked to lie Now, to be Crazy Christian, every day do try.

This is the most furious and frustrating poem I have ever read, but I still like it.
