Man Of God

can he make friends
of the most bitter enemies
i'll believe it when i see it's what i say

can he assuage
our moral discontentment
i'll believe it on that unlikely day

i believe that christian science may have something good to offer
but i too believe it falls well short of a pipeline to god
at our best we are creatures of volition
but when we falter in adjunction we relinquish all control

i met a man of god
he tried his best to tell me
my human fallabilities equate directly into sin

his philosophy
carried no weight with me
his jaded mind won't let the truth find it's way in

how does it feel?
can he replace all those days in hiding

is it real?
how many nights have you slept with regret

it's so sad
when no one is waiting to meet you

but the voices
the voices of what might have been
