Fist Pump and a Grin

Were You Born In a
“Sinners In the Hands of An Angry God”
Neighborhood,

Taught At Your Mother’s Knee
That Your Reason To Be –
Born Sinner That You Are –
Is To Become
Everything You Are Not?

I Call Nonsense On That.

You’re Made of Pure Light,
Taking a Ride Through
What’s Left of
The Garden of Eden.

Just Be You,
With a Fist Pump
and a Grin.

If You Find Yourself
Misbehaving,
You’ve Got a Whole Bag of
Soulful Tricks.

Pick the Ones
Dipped In Love

Any Other Tricks
Are Soaked In Fear,
Designed To Exercise The Ego.

You Don’t Need Those.

Just Flip a Loving Bird
At That Jonathan Edwards Dude,

But Remember to Smile,
With a Fist Pump and a Grin.
