Unsolicited Advice for Kim Davis: Do Your Job

The Kentucky County clerk, Kim Davis, who refused

Same-sex couples marriage licenses must be confused.

She is newly born-again and may not know the rules;

Jesus preached of love and taught that bigotry's for fools.

Davis, who is thrice divorced - on marriage number four -

(Making her an expert, since she's had so many more)

May not know that Jesus said to love our fellow man;

Do our best to help them out in any way we can.

But, it doesn't matter 'cause Kim's office ain't a church...

Since her actions leave her fellow workers in the lurch,

If she will not do her job for fear she'd be disgraced,

Squeaky wheel should not get oil...  It ought'a be replaced.

TIME's Person of the Year - Pope Francis

TIME just named their Person of the Year - they chose the Pope;

Man who gives lapsed Catholics a modicum of hope

That the Church is capable of modifying views.

Francis walks a different path while in St. Peter's shoes.

Said the Church has focused on the rules of sex too much

And that Congregations have, hence, fallen out of touch

With the teachings Jesus preached on what our lives are for.

Francis wants good Catholics to work to help the poor.

'though I'm glad the tone has changed, the dogma's still the same.

You still can't become a priest if you were born a dame.

Church still harbors clergy who helped cover up a crime...

Who am I to judge him, though?  I'll leave that up to TIME.

"That's Just What Jesus Said"

I suppose it's fitting on Good Friday I'm near death:

Head is throbbing, throat is sore, I cannot catch my breath.

Hopefully, by Easter, I'll be up and on the mend,

But this really sucks...  Which is what Jesus said, my friend.
