Whose most private parts just grew and grew
When he saw Fannie

If he is a bothersome Bagley from Baggers town
He is a buffoon, a jokester, a creep, a clown.
We did not know another Bagley, just this one, our new Reverend Jim.
He did not get a fair shake, we disliked him immediately on a whim....

I'd rather take nice deeds for granted
than not believe in Heaven
And make the others feel their shame
when lost comparing devon

That I am lost for seeing theirs
in shock detained from reverend
When all I did was witness love
for walks of life been leverand...

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...

the
moon
have reverend eyes
that
take me back
through
the 
Perrie planes
where the wild winds blow
back and forth
through
the
tall green switchgrass
with
a white painted 
wooden church
planted firmly in the ground
and
with
her 
narrow steeple
pointed up
towards 
the
Kingdom of God...

Reverend, given the moral climate
of the House and of the Senate,
would you kindly keep your invocation
free of innuendo and provocation,
and, please, insinuate nothing that might
cast others in a less than righteous light.
No politician wants to lose his job,
a fate worse than the wrath of God.

"Take of this and drink, for this is my blood,"
said the pastor at Sunday mass in my neighborhood.
I asked the reverend,"Is this truly the blood of Christ most divine?"
"Yes it is my son," was the pastor's reply.
I then said to him after drinking the wine,
"Holy crap, that guy must have been wasted all of the time!"...

May the beneficent and infinitely omnipotent
Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God
Eternally impute blessings lofty and  abundant
Upon the blessed memory and legacy so bold,
Of my beloved dad, revered and eminent,
Reverend Samson  Singi who when seventy years old
Was called to be with his Master still humble and repentant!...

When the moon and sun eclipse
That's when he wakes from the abyss
Then slips into black leather gloves
To hunt the neck of those he does not love
The ones who claim that it's all fake
Shall from this darkness never wake and
them that scream one final scream
Should never have doubted the existence of
The Reverend Moolah Green...

New reverend espouses ridiculously flowery verbose sermons 
Congregation divides several times over the next few months
I stay, imagining they will get better, more down-to-earth, honest.
Pretty soon there are only two of us left.
We give each other shrugs and glances.
He does not ask for help.
So we remain silent.
Contributing to his failure....

Savior help me
Make a life of peace
Peace prayer

Savior Jesus died for me....

For the Reverend Jacqui Clark, of the church of St.John the Baptist, Devizes, with love
 
God loves little Jacqui Clark
With all her kind and merry ways
Bright darling candle in the dark
Dear joyful soul who lights our days
Thank you, Jacqui, for the love
You bear to heal our hurt and pain
For blesséd manna from above
Flows forth from you
Like gentle rain

Come with me to St Matthews cemetery
a flock of culpability
What are red faces for ?
The incidence of pious Rosetta
At the graves edge
he was returned
An avalanche of prayers
omits forgiveness 
A life unworthily lived
unmatching the reverend 

The bats resume their business
The uneasiness of the pews
Feathers are the sinews of hope
Their curved plumage
thinks well of an English Hill...

Day is my time
That is when I shine
Night is not my glory
When its dark that is not my story

But this night was different
On this night awe struck and reverend
The moon was full and nearly touching earth
Shining on the turf

Slowly crept the earth
Blocking the sun's worth
Slowly your full glory
Drew me into your story

I saw God in you
How his design was beyond words
No way to express
Those few moments seeing God...
