A Poem Against the Powers of Control and Division
- I could have set this to a tune, but I think it's more in need of a Dr. Seuss style artist than music.

We like it when things we can cleanly
divide
For all things to sit on only one side
That which is evil versus that which is
good
As we have determined, just as You
“would”
For you've told each of us the other to
love
And of laws handed on down from above
So this person should go on, be with
like minds
They're not connected to our tie that
binds
But this one would be better off
joining us
Since they think this way, they won't
make a fuss
They're better than them you can see it
so clear
Bring them on over to be with us here
We are God's real church, as it's been
throughout time
We've figured out every reason and
rhyme
So come on over and try some of our
wine
It's so much finer than on what they
dine
For Obviously we're in God's image here
Just look at us, we are right, it's so
clear
All can see, God has made it plain as
clear day
We are the winners, there's no other
way
The fruits of the spirit, so fine and
so true
You'll find them in us, all bad we
eschew
The fruits of the flesh? You are
kidding me right?
We're not divisive, not here for a
fight.
Maybe if we'd all just look a little
bit deeper
And stop picking sides, playing grim
reaper
Maybe we'd see we're full of fruits of
the flesh
Not of the spirit who will still
refresh
Step out of the places of power,
control
Give up all safety to love's single
soul
Risk all that we have to find God's
unity
Admit we need “them” for community
