Made in Taiwan, just for you
I am quite sure that he would approve

Christians busy peddling
cakes and pies and plates
To raise God's roof and sing

I didn't even know he had one.

An ex-felon turned preacher
Tells me I am going to hell
I guess I will, on vacation
and see him there as well

The Lord and I
share a cold beer
On my front porch
And try not to sneer

We talk of his many faces
And of mine
We share a laugh
In every known language

We talk of trinities
And bad things in threes
And ponder what or who
That third might be. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 43 [informant] => xnoybis [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or your just being hypocritical. After reading th poem I really am not sure what your position on God even is do you it, are you poking fun at it or what. Just things to take into consideration.

I read a comment on here about you being hypocritical and of that certain person not knowing what your position with God is. But I am sure if he/she reads this poem twice they'll know what were you talking about. God does not need a roof, or judge you... God is everywhere, in nature and have different faces... birds, plants... he is everywhere, in every person and i believe that is why you said "We talk of His many faces". Also when reading poetry people should always think outside the box and not take anything personal. Well that is my opinion... and my opinion about your poem is that i liked the reading of it and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the wonderful gift of your pen. Bravo!!

A person that can't understand this is sad.
I luv your perception of God. I understand this perfectly.
Great writing-n-understanding of God.
Awesome.
