You've heard it said from the pulpit
stand and be bold
but the truth is sticky
for the words unsaid are
"but don't stand against me"
even when in the wrong
the haughty pastor
flings his degrees and
his "Heavenly proof"
that he is the only one
running this tight ship
so walk the plank
tie bait to your legs and take the plunge
you scurvy dogs
you piss ons
you uneducated masses of would be heroes
you don't know enough about the Hebrew
translation for this word
or the Greek for that...
"Pastor, I don't need a translation for love
to know that you don't have it
or a translation for humble to know it's
what you aren't
or truth-telling
to know that you lied to me from the pulpit
every time you sparked that fire in me
those times you told me I could answer the call
those times you told me that I could be more than just
the person to swab the deck
I encourage you to remove the patches from your eyes
and that demon parrot from your shoulder
God is at the helm and you are two steps off
the plank"
