Galatians



GALATIANS


I WOULDN'T INVITE HIM TO MY PARTY
PAUL I MEAN
I WOULDN'T INVITE HIM TO MY PARTY
I'D GROW WEARY
OF ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE CONFRONTATION
OF ALWAYS BEING RIGHT

MY SELF
I LIKE HEROES
WITH WEAKNESS

I
CAN IDENTIFY WITH THEM

SO I WONDER
DID THE OTHER APOSTLES
WHEN ALL THE T’S WERE CROSSED
AND ALL THE I’S WERE DOTTED
DID THE HUMBLE FISHERMEN
SAY TO THE LEARNED SCHOLAR
REMEMBER THE POOR

IF WE FORGET THE POOR
THEN ALL OUR SCHOLARSHIP
IS NOTHING
BUT A RESOUNDING GONG
OR A CLANGING CYMBAL

REMEMBER THE POOR
