You Can Keep Your Name

Sonnet: 
You Can Keep Your Name God

You can keep your name, God
That’s the lease we will do.
Be minded, you want be Lord
We have created another You.

You can execute some of your attributes
Healing, blessing, loving, forgiving,
Your judging and reaping we rebuke
It doesn’t mingle with our living

So sit there and be quite,
you still part of our team.
Just accept what we do as right,
and don’t mention redeemed.

and by the way, we are having fun!
mention to us no more the name of your son.
