The reason I'm out of the game
Is not that I broke a rule.
I mean, I'm not perfect, but I'm not a cheater,
And I've never been known to be cruel.No, I was never "disqualified";
I just never made the team.
God made the world for fighters,
No place for the gentle, like me.God gave me gifts, but at war who cares
About music, art, and writing?
Even among artists is fighting, and truly
I've never been so close to dying.What did God want me to do?
To be good and not sin-- but I did.
I guess God hates weakness, I guess I have failed him,
Face down in the dirt, badly wounded.Is heaven to be after death or now?
I'll tell you after I die.
For we've never found much of heaven here,
Jonathan Livingston and I.
