IF NOT


from the ABC set A QUESTION OF FAITH

If not the Lord
Then what?
Raiki?
Yoga?
Or Feng Shui?
Worshiping the elements
Or hhe sun and the moon
A return to chaos
Pagan times
Before the fisher of men
Cast his net

If not our lord
Then who?
What idol?
What fad or fashion
Plastic surgeons
The new gods
De-toxing
And colonic irrigation
Or wannabee's
Worshiping celebrity
At the alter of fame

If not the Christ
Then what?
Loss of faith
Loss of belief
But they don't stop believing
Because they have a need
A desperate need
To believe in something
So they believe
In everything and anything
Except the risen Christ
