CRAZY AS A LOON<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

04-08-2014<\/p>\n

Crazy as a loon they have described me,
\nA misguided, hopeless idealist at best,
\nWhose lost touch with earthly reality,
\nAs I doggedly pursue my Heavenly Quest.<\/p>\n

Get your feet on the ground they bellow,
\nBanish all talk of God from your mind,
\nPlease act normal like the rest of us,
\nAnd true happiness you’ll finally find.<\/p>\n

But I say it is they who are deluded,
\nTheir castles will crumble one sad day,
\nMy goal is eternal Heavenly Treasures,
\nAnd a Kingdom that won’t perish away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
