Please? if I sat at a redwood picnic table overlooking the river where the cattle come to drink and wrote about the way the current played with light and the water assuaged the dry tongues of the livestock but never mentioned GOD; or if I wrote of the love of a woman, golden tresses like wheat before the harvest, eyes deeper than the soul, a laugh to make the birds sing and a song to make the old men laugh but wrote no allegory and categorically insisted it was only about the woman and never mentioned GOD; or if I took on corporate greed, hypocrites in corner offices and presidents in penthouses, showed the judges taking bribes, the clerics inflated with pride, and chewed on Republican bones for a while instead of left-wing-liberal-culture-destroying unwitting-tools-of-evil-Democrats but did not quote chapter and verse and never mentioned GOD; would I still be a Christian writer? could I still be a Christian poet, Please?
