Lora B Weems

“There was this guy on TV Who said he was a man of faith He wore a funky collar But not like mine, or even a dog’s And he said that pets The four legged furballs That make a person’s life have meaning Don’t go to heaven Because they don’t have souls And I sat there and listened to him Wondering from where he was getting All of his information Because he got the facts all wrong Or perhaps he just didn’t understand That heaven is not heaven without everyone And the bits and pieces of bone and fur And the skin and the lips and the tongue and the heart Are just the container and not the self I do not have a soul I am the soul.”
