I seem into the wilderness to rant
Until, breath gone, I stop and stand and pant,
And others look on, blithering in cant
They scarcely understand, and I do not.
Yet I by words they speak am surely caught
And guided where they hope I will be taught
To worship, as they do, though I defy
The Stupid God, its salvation deny.
The world to that salvation gives the lie,
For if it true is that the world is saved
Though it remains both ruined and depraved,
Then to no end is that salvation braved.
If bravery has the present state thus made,
Then cowardice is how we should have stayed.
