Church
on Sunday
was practically
compulsory,
had almost
perfect attendance
what with the pastor being
in control of so much else.
We went out of
self-defense,
though there were more than a few
who believed of course
that Jesus loved them,
and really, it wasn’t all bad,
but as for me
I might have had an easier time
getting behind Jesus
if only the pictures they’d had of him
didn’t look so much
like pictures of Custer.

Alleluia, amen and awomen as well! I really loved that and the final reference to Custer, was brilliant! Now if you persist in reading my thoughts… 🙂

It seems it cannot be helped…

Ahhh! How to get right to the heart of ‘matter’. Custer–great choice of image.

Thanks….just calling it as I see it. A resemblance I noticed years ago.
