"The Good Book"

The Good Book is books aplenty
. Each from a different source
To tell us what it really meant he
. Shouts at us till hoarse.

Though his words are thunder of
. . He speaks no Hebrew or Greek,
Still he hollers about God's love
. How all goes to the Meek.

To read the Vulgate takes Latin
. To make sense of it scholars
The kind of learning that you find in
. Jesuit priests in collars.

This Word drawn from many voices
. Hurled down from Babel's Tower
Leaves us far too many choices
. For interpreting His Power.
