Poem
Seven 'Lively' Sins
I'm not the Messiah, but I'll preach passed the heavens,Cleanse the sick and the sad of their woe and regression.'Cause all the hospital gowns kneel and pray for remissionTo a deck full of kings who are deaf or don't listen.Good ol' Peter's got that list and you weren't sent an invitationTo that country-club concept you couldn't afford to buy in."So please collect your things,Leave quietly:Your idea of "Hell" is waiting,'Cause when the collection plateWas passed SundayYou didn't make a donation."But, I'd die for your sakeI'm a martyr, but not a saint.Just sinning and smiling,Love's my only faith.Your price of salvation? Be a prideless samaritan.Yet every houseless beggar you pass, you pretend you don't see him.Hey, I'm not so divine, or "The Accuser of Brethren;"I'm just a sidewalk song who gives into every temptation.And when I die, eyes wide, grinning and highWe'll put the fun in "fun"eral:An absent crucifix laughing betwixtThe careless and the careful.Letras de cancionesOnly one-hundred and forty-four thousand are chosen;Read Revelation.So, can you honestly profess to meYou deserve to be let in?Still, I'd die for your sake.I'm a martyr but not a saint.Just sinning and smiling.Love's my only faith.
