a Christian lad, feeling Christmas bad

Old mate, just heard from Danny you're finding things hard, and that he asked you round for tea. Bless that dear brother, and through him you.

Thinking of you and this came out...

Old mate,     don't wait
to let             toilet
waste           taste
like shit,       spew it
to God          the bod
who loves    (not shoves).
Tell him        what lim-
-its feel        quite real
and rest       your best
and worst,   quite first,
on him          though dim
to your          mind for
we don't       (or won't)
see much.    Our crutch
for broke-    -en folk
is strong      (not "wrong"),
and we         needy
and sick       must quick
lean on         it long
& straight,    so mate
I think           your "drink"
& "food"        must crude-
-ly put          be naught
but him        whose win
is told           in cold
hard love.    Above
all, know      each flow
of life            means "knife",
not to           your new
cre-a-          -tion way,
but to           that Blue
Thing Dead which said,
(and still      it will)
"poor me",   zombie.
