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
