I am crude among the artists
Petal fallen from the bloom
Neo-con amongst the Libs
The elephant in the room
I am Jesus with the skeptics
A thorn in both their sides
I am the whore among the Fundies
The beldam with the bride
I am stained among the sainted
On a cross of my own making
A believer with the atheist
A martyr at the staking
I doubt among the certain
My finger’s in the wound
My stammer’s in the speaking
I’m a lyric with no tune
I am the black sheep in the barn
I know where I belong
A clown to entertain you
With a poem and a song

Kay this poem is extraordinary,
“I’m the Christian among Agnostics
A thorn in both their sides
I am the whore among the Fundies
Alone among the brides”
absolutely stunning work, I love it
