except
for those bits about
loving our enemies
and not seeking
revenge upon them,
or the prophetic hopes
we would let justice
rush through our communities
like a raging river,
and those 'blessed are'
little phrases that Jesus
tossed about so freely,
and we mustn't forget
the nudges Jesus gave
about how we handle money,
welcome the outsiders,
keep a light burning for prodigals,
as well as learning from
those we look down
our noses at . . .
we're doing a pretty
good job, even if we
say so ourselves, which
we do constantly.
