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
