Every time I'm stoned on the couch
My newborn baby cries:
"You have withheld your love from me again"

Every time I judge you
As I walk down the street
The Holy Spirit grieves.

Every time I blog
About the selfishness of Westerners,
I allow you no chance to defend yourself.

Every time I abruptly answer you
One ear hole is blocked
With an extra mouth

All the times
I fight wars with petrol bombs
In the name of God
I am endorsing belief in anything but-

Every time I refuse to make plans with you
It means I really think
I am better than you

Every time I pay another woman to sleep with me
It's not cheating it's variety
I am the fool.

And each time I fall in love
With the flesh and blood because I am lonely
I keep saying,

eternity is not good enough
I want the temporary.

eternity is not good enough
I want the temporary.


Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me.
Psalm 66:20
