My dog can not protect me <br />From that which has dominion <br />Over him and history. <br /> <br />And even ink that can triumph over time <br />Spares us little when we are done <br />Is frail to inspiration's moment <br />A pale and inadquate thing. <br /> <br />Else the struggle to live the Gospel would not be <br />An order of such magnitude and easily done. <br /> <br />So let us celebrate fish for breakfast <br />Keep God ever in the center of our pain and joy <br />And like Bergmann's Seventh Seal Squire - Protest! <br />While smiling nicely back at death.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/corgy-theology/
