EVENSONG 26

Some people talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk. That isn’t me. And I don’t mind being tested — what I know, what I do, what I want.

Go ahead; put me on trial. I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth. I’m not into “cults” of crazies, and I don’t tolerate two-faced jerks. I detest grand old posses of money-grubbing hatemongers; I want nothing to do with them.

I mean exactly what I say. I go to gatherings of like-minded people in order to express my thanks and wonder over this glorious land in which we live. But I refuse to “worship” with a crowd of cutthroats who are always up to no good and will do anything for a dadgum buck.

I’ll say it again — I’m gonna do what’s right. Give me some credit. Give me a break. I don’t want to be a member of any club that would have a phony, lying, immoral huckster as a regular member, much less as its president.
