Thought for the Week: Defined by a negative?
'Defined by a negative?' by Jill Wheatley
May I un-burden myself?
They would call me non-theist
a-gnostic
But it is not my fault
Not a deliberate act of dis-obedience
a-morality
in-transigence
There is a chasm
Which I may not cross
And remain true to me
So I do not pray
Even though a lifetime of trying
Brings the words pat
Death will come
When I have lived as long as my body can bear
Plant me under the crab apple tree
