ECUMENICAL
blackbirds

Catholics seek Heaven, swear allegiance to the Pope
Hindus seek enlightenment and Rastas just smoke dope.

Luth’rans follow Martin and rely on God’s good grace
The Prophet called Muhammad met with Allah face to face.

Sufis transcend in a spin, Madonna’s now a Jew
Evangelicals are sure that heaven’s meant for few.

Pentecostals speak in tongues that none can understand
The Army of Salvation’s got one hell of a good band.

Sunnis think that Shi’as had the wrong man in Ali
Many Christians think that God’s divided into three.

Buddhists seek Nirvana, not the one with Kurt Cobain
Animals don’t need to feel threatened by a Jain.

Many expeditions set out looking for the Ark
Creation for a scientist’s connected to a quark.

L. Ron Hubbard said that we all came from Outer Space
Baptists seem suspicious of the whole damned human race.

Someday we’ll all be together
Gathered up as One
Meanwhile we’ll all hate each other
underneath the Sun.
