Dust To Dust Poem by Patti Masterman

Save me from hell
And save me from heaven
And keep far away from
People not living:
People who believe in
Far away gods;
And who think that heaven
Waits under sod
People who think sin
Owns the whole earth-
People who can't think,
Give them a wide berth
People who should know that man wrote the book
But swear god did it, don't know they've been took
Give only a few friends who value the truth
And give me contentment from old age to youth
This is my prayer from sun up to dusk
From the day of my birth until I am dust.
