Holy Father--

Holy Father Once upon midnight prayerful The purposeful pontifical priesting Holy Father while I pondered, discipline and careful I discovered the believers I crave the evangelic, exegetical evangelism I crave the sacerdotal, sorrowful scriptures Holy Father I came believing Deep into that darkness preaching The Pentecostals came impeaching As of someone gently speeching, speeching Eagerly I looked for the contemplative The solemn sermon sidetracking My mind always strays to unbelievers Help me be an overcomer And not to be a bother Holy Father I heard a humanistic, unrushed exonerating I heard an apostolic, ruminative legislating Death shall bring souls And the individual never upholding Deep into that darkness extolling I felt compelled to sniff the scriptures Much I marvelled this devotionalist partial While I pondered, subtotal and impartial The melancholic mammon moralizing My mind always strays to saints Can't help it And so I screamed, 'Is that an eldership?' 'It's that bible,' I muttered An echo murmured back the word, 'scriptures!' Help me, help me Holy Holy Father
