Preacher

Preacher came knocking today
that harbinger of hope
doomed fatally to cope
with a multitude of lies
wrapped round one
solitary truth

preachers always feel
like some kind of slueth
poking round
any wellspent youth

But his sad eyes revealed
the depths of his belief
convictions forever deceived
by right things wrongly perceived

He asked if I'd found Jesus
if I had ever been saved
And oh, how I truly
wanted to misbehave

but my heart spoke
before my mind
So, I simply told the preacher
I too was so inclined

And when he asked
when it was I had been saved
I told the him
honestly

"Always been."
