We Want God To Be Our Mascot, (Not a Just, Consuming Fire…) A Poem by Tom Graffagnino We need God to be just “caring”… One who winks at every lust, One who follows our commandments, And who puts his faith in us. We want God to be our mascot, (Not a Just, Consuming Fire…) One who meets our expectations…. THAT’s the God that WE require! We want God to be our lapdog… Yes, a puppy we can school. Just a friendly little fella We can scold and overrule. What we need’s a god who’s happy Spreading only sheer delight…. Yes, a pliant, perky Fido, Who just wags and never bites. We demand a god who’s helpful, Plus, obedient and sweet! We require it!……And that’s FINAL! One who’ll curl up at our feet. We need one who’ll just roll-over, One who heels and begs and sits…. Yes, a best friend and a “buddy”, Who won’t bother us a bit. We need one who’ll fetch our slippers, Who’ll submit to our command… One who overlooks our errors, And will eat treats from our hand. We prefer God inoffensive One that’s neutered, calm ‘n’ tame… One who’d never call attention To our sins or cause us shame. That’s the pedigree we’re after, Just a lovey-dovey pet, One who’s bred for our convenience… Yes, a good god in our debt.
