Of Salvation and Motivation

A Poem by J Todd Underhill
"

NaPoMo Entry 3

"

All I need is Jesus and a strong cup of Java;

To get me started on my day.

Dark clothing, a hatchet and balaclava,

As attack life in my own special way.

 

All I need is Jesus and a strong cup of Joe;

To kick start my heart if you will

Playing Reggae and feeling the flow,

Working to play or find my own thrill.

 

All I need is Jesus and a strong cup of freshly perked;

Just to set me right for my day.

By four in the evening, I am over worked,

Needing a jolt watching what I say.

 

All I need is Jesus and a strong cup of Mud;

And I am ready to take on all I can.

I have a caffeine system not blood,

Does that make me a monster not a man?

 

All I need is Jesus and a strong cup of coffee;

Though I know it’s not very wise.

Should I be a quitter, not me.

I need the fix to prop open my eyes.
