Читать книгу Psalms for the Poor - Kent Gramm - Страница 15

return thou on high

The Lord on high is just and fair,

and righteous to a fault;

He is a god when he’s up there,

presiding over all.

Down here he/she’s another thing—

invisible as salt

in use, more intimate than sin;

if found, then found at fault.

A lord almighty’s dignity

requires the proper place—

a mausoleum in the sky,

not someone’s beat-up face.

A deity conceived is free

to be, to will, to do—

not troubled by contingency,

not breathing next to you.
