inside each child
Thursday, May 15, 2008Inside each child
there is a rock star,
and as the child grows
the rock star gets sick
and eventually dies.
So there is a
dead rock star
inside each adult,
still smelling like perfume
and last night’s booze.
It’s painful to carry
this corpse around,
so also inside each adult
is a middle-aged pastor
who has a shovel
and a bible
and will be happy
to conduct a funeral
of sorts. But
inside that pastor
there is a rock star
who is very much alive
and ready to rock.
His name is Jesus Christ.
He used to be with
the twelve apostles,
but he’s
been doing a lot
of solo stuff
lately.
