946

Please - I don't need the dark night of the soul;

There's more than enough to trouble me each day

Without concerning myself with the roll

Of super-spiritual being, who, by the way,

May not exist and even if they do

Show scant regard for those of us who care

For others; and, although we may be few,

Try our best to empathise and share.

If we accepted all the platitudes

Of born-again believers and the crew

Of happy-clappies, would ensuing truths

Have anything to say to me and you

          When all we ask is love to be set free

          So you might know how joyous Love can be?
