Message to the New Pope

To the new pope
" You fill your house with things of Gold, while handing crumbs to the old & poor. Then you speak about being pure & wonder why we are laughing. In your old way you try to find us, but we can't follow what's behind us. Too much blind faith can just blind us, though sometimes that's a blessing. I still remember when I still embraced you. A little prayer would ease my mind, but I saw that you hide from the misery outside, so I left you behind. All the other teachings that I tried were about the same. A few bits of truth, mixed with confusion caused by man. Since your around here anyway, we might as well get you back on your feet again. Don't you know we need sombody to do some work out in the streets. Throw your old cloak & staff away. You might just touch somebody. Brother, can we reach you today?" Steppenwolf 1969
