Christianity in the New Fade

i sometimes wonders where all the Christians are

in history a lot of them were bogus opportunists
and today it seems they're all poor or rich
and everyone's bumming off the holidays
for everything but what they're meant to celebrate
which i guess is fine because some of those
did the same thing, too

but where's all the understanding of what Christians
are supposed to emulate and ruminate?

where's the awareness that there were great things
reported in the stories, great things we're supposed
to comprehend?

where's the Golden Rule?

everyone, even the Christians, are looking out
for themselves

no, not all of them,
some of them are tortured by the pain
of it all, know what I'm talking about

but most of them don't
and they'll all be there tomorrow
in their "Sunday best"

while we all wait
for things to get better
or hope that there's justice
in the hereafter
in the here and now
there's every chance
to do what's right
rather than what's easy

there also seems to be a myth
that everything's fine
just if you pretend
but at the heart of all this
is the understanding that
human nature is at the heart of the riddle

now, think about that
as you prepare to gather your eggs

maybe let some of them hatch
