more from The Litanies of Mistrust

 

Never Trust Jesus: 

to admire your car

to love your friends

to despise your enemies

to not spoil the child

to fear your old man

 

Never Trust Jesus:

to approve of an unconsidered life

to authorize a version of The New Testament

to congratulate the most clever hypocrisy

to honk at a car with a fish on the bumper

to fold when he holds a trey

to allow your dirty feet

 

Never Trust Jesus:

to expect you to be anything but a sheep 

to take the advice of Bo Peep

to speak clearly about sheep

to starve the ravens

to work harder than a lily

to not abuse your swine

 

Never Trust Jesus:

to join the Foreign Legion

to join the American Legion

to join the Legion of Decency

to say I am Legion

to say incense in the morning smells like victory
