A GOSPEL TREASURY
Poems Based on Lectionary Gospels
Come follow the Fuhrer
and learn to salute
and to march with a flag and a gun
to a moment of glory
created from fear;
there may be nothing left when you’re done.
Though nearly two thousand
long summers have gone,
it is still true as Jesus had said:
there are still many, Christs,
who are burning to lead
and still millions who want to be led.
But there’s only one way
to be sure it is Christ,
when the call comes to, 'Follow, who may.'
For the Christ has not changed
though the ages are long.
