On the Fence

You can't be
on the fence
with Jesus;


you gotta stand
on either side.
It's either/or;
it's neither/nor.


It's cherubs
on the ceiling,
or it's fire
beneath your feet.


It's morning's
shining glories,
or it's nightshade's
deadly vines.


Stay put,
you forfeit
heaven;


don't stay,
you tumble
either way.
