Thine Sheep

I listened to the album Opiate by Tool three times in a row while waiting for my little brother's hockey practice to end, and I ended up with this. This might be offensive to Christians. You've been warned.

God, please tell me what to do
Jesus, I want to be just like you

God, please show me what I should see
Jesus, I want you inside of me

God, please have all of my money
Jesus, just take it I am not worthy

God, please bless me with security
Jesus, f**k me I want to bleed

Just like you

I am nothing, I am scum
I am a piece of s**t rotting in the sun
I am ugly, I am dumb
I am a loser and will never run

God, please guide my blind hand
Jesus, take all I have and leave me dead in the sand

I am evil, I am sin
I am yearning for redemption
I am nasty, I am Man
I am imperfect and always looking

Always looking to better myself
But that's just so much f*****g work

God, make me a better person
Jesus, if it's money that's a problem
Don't walk away, for I have the solution
I do not wish to be tempted by greed
So please, take all of my money

No offense in the lest.
I actually really liked how it flowed and the rhyming scheme.
I may have to go buy that album.
Figure out the meaning to this piece's inspiration. *smile*

Hehe. I was just thinking, with the right tone of voice, I bet a preacher could use this as a sermon and end up with an overflowing offering plate. Gotta love well-done sarcasm. ^-^

[Meredith Leigh]

No bashing here, I thought it was beautiful, I could feel your emotion in your words. Wonderful work!!
