S. Wesley Mcgranor

*O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Book of Common Prayer
...

My religion
exists in my mind,
my own private mind,
and I am free.
...

The era unwelcoming,
the gospel and man
astray.
...

The
greeting
cheap?
to those
...

thy holy city-
refuge/
on heavens hill-
exalted/

Get drunk
Get high
regret is nigh.

Sihk, Nation of Islam, Five Percenters, and Real Mohammedan behold
a god that they can touch, see, and pray to.

God

Liar, liar, pants on fire,
grab the telephone wire
and rig that phone call
then you say:
...

'Out on the street
for a living'.
Where sympathy
is cliche:
...

Closed to the beating
Punched, kicked, and choked
To an orgasm
Not her own
...

She sat
-down
and
sat
...

In bondage
like Adam and Eve
or making decisions to/for/against
the best of their knowledge

It was like a remote yesterday when you took me kite flying. I can remember vividly the ice cream cone afterwards and then mom having Autumn dinner ready and it was a homemade beef vegetable pie...
After grace dad said that he was leaving soon and that he had to go to heaven -go because he had cancer.
Did god give you that'? I said to dad. Mom reservedly quipped no it was satan. Later at bed time I prayed to god, and he said that it was dad himself.
...

Ever since he died, things just are not the same. But i'm really into Bob Dylan now. This organic/commie coffees great; hey nice tie-dye. I don't mind shwag if its the only stuff around. Acid, opiates and coke with some P.B.R. -at the happening place where gals re-enact Ani De Franco meets girls-gone-wild. Later when we are all sober we will find some more escapism on T.V. --where we don't have to come to terms with our neglect and abandonment.

Dance the dance
of bare feet
...

White America pretends
in their house;
it is safer
than pretending on the streets.
...

Never was I natural,
never did I care
to be,
looking at those in natural law

Racist, racist, racist!
You are racist!
