PoMo Poem

the first of a few poems i'll be posting:

from this box

despite your rules, despite your thoughts
of who I AM and who i'm not
you are my sheep, you are my flock
and i'll still love you from this box

take your religion & theology
i'm beyond their capacity
keep your church services and your talks
and i'll still love you from this box

when you put me in parades
when i'm neatly on display
or when you keep me to yourself
i'll still love you from this shelf

when you think you've got it right
when you're sure you understand
when you're eager, when you're willing
i'll still love you from inside this building

all i want is your adoration
my son died for you, my creation
so please don't try to comprehend me
just let some of me remain a mystery

so despite your rules, despite your thoughts
of who I AM and who i'm not
you are my sheep, you are my flock
and i'll still love you from this box
