Flannery O'Connor was right when she said 'a good man's hard to find'
There was only ever one, and he is out of state and out of mind.
Too often I feel a lamb without a leader in a church that fears no God.
We sing our songs and go to camps while the bible calls our fraud.
We pray for the poor with our wallets full of blood,
"Hold the Line! Stay the course, and chew your cud!"
I can't help but think it was supposed to be more than this,
more than words without action or empty politics.
The least common denominator is the watered down condition,
afraid of people and risk, afraid of crucifixion.
I can't stand to do this anymore.
I won't plead the name of Christ and act like a whore.
I need more than empty words that merely hide our vices.
Sincerely changed lives in the abscence of disquises.
If you believe something truly, you must believe it to its full extent.
Take this to its natural conclusion to understand what is meant.
