What Else But This To Do To While Away a Sunday

If Sunday be only meant for the
sole purpose of quiet reflection
and contemplations 

A day upon which to rest take in and 
ponder our own individual actions 

Of this here presiding week just that
just passed us all bye 

Then surely enough what I am in
effect actually doing here

Is penning my own imitable confession

To the Church of Soup itself

Not so much for and asking for
forgiveness nor seeking redemption 

But rather for the sake of my own 
wellbeing self preservation 

As a means of which may relieve the
stress this here past week has placed 
upon my brittle mental health 

I am trying my very level best not
to be swallowed up drown underneath

If only in the hope as God permitted
will not sadly not be able or it willing
to answer to any of my prayers

Maybe just then there is a member
of the soup out there

Who actually is and maybe also will
be willing to 

And that will do me just fine as well

As beggars and losers do not have the
luxury of being choosers 

If and once god has stood them up
for the umpteenth countless time again 

Until they themselves must have to 
eventually realize 

How much louder could the message
possibly be

And sadly they don't even have friends
otherwise perhaps they may before
now have been able

To have told them and let them know

How to know how to take a hint
