I wanna think god's thoughts, and Mr. Newton, Issac said,
After him. So I joined the queue.
Fundamental heretic is what I am.
Jesus was a heretic. Ask any Pharisee.
Evaluation and appraisal, worship and praise,
who told you to do that? A shepherd kid?
A lonely boy under the stars in a peaceful valley,
beside still waters. Like, Bob Dylan at twelve. Singin' along.
Worthy, so worthy, sang the boy, never knowing the role of
y after worth in setting the appraising price or prize.
What's it worth to know death has no sting? A song?
Then sing, soft, don't wake the dead.

This reminded me of its existence as I was wathching a youtube doc, Wittgenstein: A wonderful life. I may have posted it before, but it means more now, to me.
