Made Free Poem by Harlan Simantel

if the Son makes you free
you will be free
indeed

why he did willingly bleed

keep us really free, jesus
only You, good friend -
we please
and you please us!

not humans
not religions
not that regressive, old fashioned
dead church
formal, boring

lurch to creaky lurch
like a mostly dead birch

pretty white on the outside -
but dead inside -
give us new green wood!

and useful fruit
from us, your soil
your dirt
