Mama said
She wouldn't cut off our tails
She said NO to religion
She said NO to baptism
She said NO to indoctrination
With some man's regurgitated beliefs
Mama said
Cut off your own tails
Go find God, Jesus, Buddha
If that's what you need
But seek with your heart and soul
Not your mind and words
Mama said
You might be sorry without your tail
It is your rudder
To point you to truth
There can be no saints
Without sinners
Mama said
Pssst--God is in your tail
Figure that out
And then she laughed...
