Along with bully pulpit
Are both weird at times.

There was a dear Vicar of Bray,
Fell out of his pulpit one day.
Jumping up, said I’m fine,
Too much Communion wine,

That inebriated Vicar of Bray....

God Within Reach

We must have people who will teach, 
While others from a pulpit do preach; 
Are  for sure,
Has the cure;
Knowing God is always within reach.

The Vicar sniffed searching for the culprit
As it rose it overtook the pulpit
Stained glass windows wept
As the brimstone crept
The choir hummed so as not to gulp it

Bound within hero norms
pilfered from the pulpit,
games twist tailored tempests
crafting men as monsters

with derision conquered
by illumined command:
complicity in stabs
while changing the channel....

From his pulpit the parson railed 'gainst booze

   For some in his pews this wasn't good news

      For so many, you see

         Bootlegged on the qui vive

            They all harmonized in singing the blues...

an inspirational Sunday morning
the Word of God from the pulpit explodes
Heaven, gloriously shines in our sight
one straight path amongst many winding roads

Rat carrying cheese as holy oil
Lion sitting on a goat as sofa set
Hyena in the pulpit as day’s preacher
Eagle keeping penguins as security
Monkeys playing flutes as jesters
In church stair they do their things
In watchful eyes of heaven and earth...

Bully A Culprit in Pulpit

What we really had to finally admit,
Came up with a culprit in the pulpit;
Money using,
And abusing,
And was a bully who could not quit.

Book is by Doris Kearns Godwin.

Has anyone out there read any of
her books lately?

The house of worship for heathen activity 
Drawn to it's very existence, will power ceases to exist
Fluid and deliberate functions trap uncertain souls
The point of no return beyond the pulpit
Great pleasure in kneeling before the dominant one
Tempting house of sinful praise...

Listen to poem:

she enters the room gracefully
belying the heartache inside
her tale of loss floats through the air
like a windblown kite

a mother, child, and death 
reduced to silhouettes

her vision rips a hole
where there should be love 
from this pulpit 
with its congregation of one...

climb at all levels
                                 wonderful heavenly view -

Beneath the heavens 
Cold means are the death of the reverend 
Coke fiends run through the church and buy the religion
Through the nose goes the bone marrow of the Son 
Out of the nose comes His blood for the sins 
And into a pool of money that blood rains, oh what a bath the reverend bathes in...

Upon swollen knees 
        beg mercy... please! 

surely hail showers 
     dirty deeds 
    save only deity forgive 
     thieves of moral trust... pan liars, 
    bloviating from tainted pulpit 

surely hell awaits 
               ,demonic soul, 

from pious froth, 
        earnest turn shoulder cold...

spiritual discourses
address lower mind
offering not flavour
of bliss magnetism 
that ignites our form

therefore silence
is the best teacher 
requiring release of
ownership of thought
thus exhuming ego

awareness animated
poised in the void
entwined with existence 
breaks the mirror
invoking Holy Spirit...

Build a pulpit on my heart,
So I may preach again,
A word of loving art,
With a stroke,
Of my own pen.

It's just a heart that beats,
Everything from deep within,
Bleeding into ink,
A voice that carries,
Through a pen.

Might they realize,
Understand,
Just what this is,
Given from on high,
A gift with a pen....

I am a word, a simple scribble - ink arranged on empty page;
I'm voiced with passion from a preacher's pulpit, or the actor's stage.
I'm sprayed in hate on subway walls or whispered in a lover's ear.
I am the poet's knife; his lyric few will sing, and fewer hear.

Not lying outright
is far from the truth
Hesitance vacuous
barren of fruit

What never gets said
deceitfulness hides
Stalking and preying
while buried inside

The pulpit a soapbox
 lectern a mask
Pontification
deceptions bombast

Wittingly fervent
the devil subverts
False implication
—the ultimate hurt

Standards rejected
 by pulpit acceptance
 of degradation,
 send age old values
 spinning and spiraling
 open mouthed
 into
 immorality’s dung heap,
 frosted with
 the new normal
 from godless kitchen.

This putrid dish is
 fed into hearts
 through entertainment
 propaganda machines,
 along with urgings,
 of public figures,
 who say it's okay,
 to eat devil's shit!...
