About A Point of View
We had decided about Trump's point of view;
He should start over with something new;
Never segregate;
Always integrate;
In our church can sit in any position or pew.
They are called Episcopalians like I am.

The tv is on down the hall voices compete
for attention from delicate hammock earlobes.
I think it is the national geographic channel.
They announce the modern evolution of the
species one by one.
They say things like most Canadian geese these
days are loud mouthed episcopalians.
Not like the long legged crane Lutherans who dont
Seem bothered by solitude.
Cameras shutter speed to record the flight..
Singular wake of where a leg once stood..
Speaking in hushed tones as he rises.
"you know my throat grew so dry in
those grasses".
Yet still looking out my window reminds me that the
Raven is an elegant priest..
Squawking corsley over long concrete robes..
chain smoking on a light post and eating
ramen noodles that have spilled from
my garbage can.

Closet Christian
On a decision, for a while we had waited
When should our pretty church be painted?
So more of God will surely start to reveal
And of course for sure increase eye appeal.
Once finished would begin to brag and boast
Church is full of Father, Son and Holy Ghost
And once in seats, we will all want to share
Sermon by Priest that was beyond compare.
A thing we have heard that is of the latest
Is that to us God is truly always the greatest
At continually coming up with some creation
Of a Christian who requires further explanation.
So what you will have to do in a big hurry
Is buy copy of Crazy Christian by Bishop Currie
And any worry or doubt won't have again
When you opened up door and let God come in.
Episcopalians are part of both proud and profane
Each time when another priest they do ordain
Into collection plate more money they deposit
Even if a Christian who likes living in a closet.

Bruce Jenner, Wheaties Winner
Can you imagine Bruce Jenner being a Wheaties winner
Becoming a women wanting to be much thinner
With quite a fine, attractive, adorable face
Wearing dress, high heels and blouse with lace.
What is world turning these confusing days
All of the many surprising ways of seeking praise
For child what kind of example is this setting
Trying to determine sex and fooling around and fretting.
Same sexes to each other now may be married to
A popular past time in church is becoming true
So what if Adam and Eve had both been gay?
None of us never ever would be here today.

So if you are a man who changes sexes, you get
to ride around in $180,000 Porsche not a Lexus.
You might even have your own Television show
Because of the influential people that you know.
Will he even start his/her own religion Us weird
Episcopalians do accept same sex marriages and
have female priests and deacons. How about you?
PS needs a gay category I am beginning to believe.

Always Do at a Pew
God who I know up in a cloud
To You, I will have my head bowed
And at church will kneel at a pew
Like all Episcopalians always do.
Thy power as precious as it may be
Open up my eyes so they may see
And also both ears so I can hear
When you're either far away or near.
Make me want You who are so kind
When searching for you I may find
Even if cold outside and it froze
My God inside me He truly grows.
