MY GOD

People, what have you done
You’ve locked Him in His golden cage
You’ve bent Him to your religion
He who has risen from the grave
He is the god of nothing
If this is all you can see

You are the god of everything
He is within you and me

So lean on Him gently
And don’t call on Him to save you
From your good manners
And the sins you’re used to denying

The bloody Church of England
Chained by history
Requires your earthly presence
At the vicarage for tea

And the carved figure of you-know-who
With his plastic crucifix
Has put him in order
Confuses me about who, where and why
And how He takes His kicks

Confessing to the infinite sin
The infinite lament
You will pray until next Thursday
All the gods you can count
