Above The Shallow

 

Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow

Who do we follow?

Why do we follow?

What do we follow?

Follow the Scientist

Placate the Aethist

Tolerate the Artist

Or smile for the Universe's Dentist?

Follow the Prophet

Or follow the Apostle?

Follow the Crotchet

Or follow the living Epistle?

Follow the Man of God;

Reverend, Apologist, Archbishop

Daddy, Papa, My Lord

Or the King of Kings?

Wash the feet of diamond studded cleats

Or the cracked jigger-filled soles of street kids?

Kiss the hands of the Priest

Keep the dirty laundry of the pulpit neat

Make the dessert of false doctrine a favorite treat

Or feed on a whole platter of the Word's meat?

Ignore your family's troubles

Befriend the crumbs the dog daily swallows

Maintain the posture of a malnourished callow

Or ingest on the digest of wisdom's intimate bellow

Follow the seed

Follow the fleet

Follow the tune of entangled feet

Or the pattern of freedom's beat?

The fastest way to the soul is the bosom

The fruit of labor is Lack's blossom

Stress and depression as bold as Lamar Odom

Or inhale the true breath of Love's freedom?

Follow the ladder

Follow the leader

Follow the bleeder

Or follow the wider road cheaper?

Follow the nourishing river of honor

Forget not your Maker

Forget not MY commands

Follow your heart

Follow your pacesetter from the start

 Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow

Who do we follow?

Why do we follow?

What do we follow?
