"Preacher Don't Send Me" (Response poem by JO)
“Don’t Send Me”
by JO
Please don't send me to church
were it smells of old people,
And the preachers sermons
Are anything but memorable.
It's completely boring.
The crowd yells songs at the priest,
and when he gets fed up
he screams back like a beast.
There are lots of people who sing
And none of them on beat.
I have to stand when they stand
and when they sit, take a seat.
Like puppets on strings
responding to unseen cues
flopping like fish
Into endless pews.
Instead of church
take me where I can ball .
To the courts,
I hear the call.
It's a splash
when the shots all net
nothing else matters;
It's the best it gets
I’d call the court
my joy in life
where we play fair
and the kids are nice.
Where the coaches are funny
And comments aren't sugar coated.
Promise me this
and I'll be devoted.
