Leaving Babylon...

Forgive me...

Excuse me for seeming uninterested, but

I think I'll make my exit now.

The "golden cow" worship of crap on

TV just isn't my cup of tea.


My backwards thought process may be

Something of a hazard,

But I answer to a higher authority...

I spend hours in a cave

On my knees, okay?


Forget reality TV...I don't care!

Facebook? Yeah. ...Just another look at no

Business of mine!

Don't tell me that story please-- that morsel

Of gossip? A delicacy perhaps...

But not to me.

Don't make me an accessory, thank you.


I spend hours in a cave

On my knees, okay?

The voice of Him who created

Calls out to me

In that gentle whisper...

The rest is just the fluff that stuffs

Winnie the Pooh!

Oh well.


I can tell I make you nervous

As you fuss over me--

Please stop.

Everybody's talking to me

at once--I can't process it all.

The backwards thought process ruling me;

There it is! You see?

I must be alone in my cave!

My savior's whisper speaks to me better

Than the fluff that stuffs Winnie the Pooh.


Oh well.

I'll give him a hug...

Anyway, he's in my cave too.

What can I say? He doesn't judge!

Nothing to get lost in translation.


Don't be angry when I don't talk.

Now I'm wondering if you hate me

For making my exit

Sorry. But my savior's voice is calling me.

I must obey.

On my knees in my cave is where I'll be!


But I need a sign that says "Do Not Disturb."

Translation: Do NOT come and find me (please)!

I'm already disturbed enough by the crap on TV

And the gossip.

Another stupid movie??

If it's all the same to you; no thank you.

(Not today, anyway).

Another trip to "Babylon" is too much.


I just want to sit at His feet!

My favorite place to be...and I'll stay

There until you think I am SERIOUSLY disturbed.

My backward thought process something

Of a hazard to you...and all you want

To tell me.


I'm sorry...

I can't learn by osmosis that joke

You want me to get.

Social protocol, I guess...

But I suck at that. I'd rather

See into your soul instead.

And you can't let me.


It's okay. I understand.

But my savior's voice, I must obey...

I'll be in the cave of my room,

Kneeling by the bed.

Anything I can pray for you about?

Enough said.
