I came here only for one reason
After the years I’ve spend in prison
I’ve realized how much I’ve missed
I asked myself whom should I see,
And since the Allah wasn’t free
You were the next one on my list

I won’t commit the deadly sins
I’ll stay from rice and beans
And I’ve already lost all sense of pride
I will not envy other men
I’m sure that You will understand
I have to lust from night to night

I’m not so sure of number seven
I need to have my share of heaven
And You should know rare it happens
I’ll never use Your name in vain
But holy **** it’s such a pain
To follow Your commandments

I even went to Church one day
I’m sorry that I could not stay
In my defense I had the flu
And with the gain of missing class
I was the altar boy at Mass
But I forgot just what to do

Last month, I even read your Word
Although I slept, Your voice I heard
Your readings were fantastic
The one with Abraham was best
To put the poor guy to the test
Now that’s an instant classic

Dear Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Whichever one, I hope You hear it
You said yourself, “help out a stranger!”
I do not need a V-I-P
Just let me sit right there with Thee
And find for me a younger angel!

BUT seriously...this is damn good.
I thoroughly ENJOYED this read...

your still with me in every way.
every poem and song...
every rhyme and verse...
your still here...like a beautiful curse.
