More Questions
I am sad and happy
and fucked up
and proud.
Sometimes quiet
Sometimes loud
I’m a filthy rag
The Christians say
Where do I turn
To find the way?
Did Jesus come
To put us down?
I rather doubt it
He’s committed
and bound.
Bound to save us
From ourselves
He knows if we’re lost
He won’t let us be left.
