I realized, in Christian thought If I prayed as much as I wrote As much as I swore If I read the Bible As much as I make innuendos Fake inappropriate with friends If I spoke to God As much as I speak to friends As much as I spend time on the internet As much as I listened to music As much as I filled up every moment with noise... I'd be a saint. But I'm not. I don't pursue. I don't wake up saying, "Lord Jesus, help me help others. Help me be a better man." Sure there are weeks Then there are weaks I'm left clutching a beer Glass of *** ***** Shots of Tequila Wishing I was a better man. Hoping I can be a better man. Yet, when push comes to shove, I do nothing. I love You Father.
