A Gift to be Free
It’s a Saturday for God-thinking in
The easiest way possible
No one expects anything at least
In my culture
(weekend in the USA)
There’s mass on Saturday
A smart invention of the Catholic church
But even then it will go easier
Litany from a hammock
Prayers while kneeling
In the garden
What does God want of Saturday?
Sixth day of creation
I think we were made
Though a day to God
Might as well be an eternity
To our thinking
We are the human gift
Invention for our industry
Now limit the hours
Keep it to five days
(four days in Europe)
Send all the children home
From factories forever
(the world waits for this)
It can be a day for thinking and rethinking
For new ways to slide in
Supplanting what needs to be overthrown
Inside,
Confirming what is wise and
Always
Let’s enjoy the first half of the weekend
Tomorrow should be even better
And if your sabbath’s done
Then divine gifting
Is already yours
And if your sabbath’s an invention
Enjoy humanism-giving
In rest or play
In other words, the day is yours
The day is ours
