Fame N Shame
Fame and shame
How far apart are the two
Is one of the most basic questions
Asked by Lao Tzu
Is it a waste
Of a revealed scripture
To think it should be interpreted
Stricter
Than one would a poem
Or a song
If those inspired by God cannot be wrong
Then what is there to fear
Why worry if your neighbour is queer
If you think it is sin
Remember that your Bible says that that is up to him
Look to the plank in your own
Words are often a matter of tone
Which is destroyed by the medium
And time
To claim that words can be taken literally
Is a crime gainst truth
Strewth
Its a shame I know
But words are not proof
Sometimes tis hard to tell the pimp from the preacher
Or the celebate from the celebrity
Holy books should never be read
Without the presence of a cup of tea
And a pinch of salt
To throw over the shoulder
The devil is in the detail
Please dont think you can get the truth retail
