a true story

Once upon a time
there was a horse
who walked the city streets daily
side by side with his owner
who was a poor man
by the name of Bill

When people drove by in their cars
and saw the horse on its afternoon walks
they would gape in wonder

When dogs saw the horse while walking by with their owners
when the horse and his owner took their evening walk
they would bark and tug on their leashes at the strange sight
of such a large dog heeling in perfect submission

And likewise the churches and their religious have made a spectacle of themselves
but not as God intended
simply put
they are not free
