JOBSA GOOD’N

 

The preacher on the Radio

Says he’s changed his mind about Dave and Joe

But that chap who’s running the B&B

Still won’t let a room to a him and a he.

While the Archbishop ponders his riven flock

And says we all get a much whiter smock

When we come to the end of this earthly race

Whether or not we are arse about face.

But the question is: What did God intend

If he wanted some to be round that bend

Did he also mix clay for the paedophile

And the chap who looks out for a corpse to defile?

Transgender, cross-dresser and simple ‘don’t know’

Are they all from the Hand of the Great Potter’s throw?

Procreation it seems comes a rather poor last

Fornication’s the thing – to conceive – can’t be arsed!

And when we’ve died out from a progeny dearth

God will sigh a deep sigh – and inherit The Earth.

Hi Barrie, theres a lot to think about in this one. A lot of moral and religious dilemmas highlighted here. I think this is a very brave poem and not one a lot would tackle. I only know one thing, the human race is very unlikely to "die out from a progeny dearth." The way mankind is increasing its more likely we`ll die out because this mother earth cant sustain us.... then God can "inherit the earth."
A thought provoking poem
