The Burning Bush [by Mitch Sisskind]
John Milton wanted to explain the laws of God
To man but this is like trying to explain how to
Run a car dealership or a discount tire business
To an ant so what God does instead of trying to
Explain stuff is he just throws it all out there and
We have to figure it out like how when Lou Holtz
Was fired as the head football coach at Arkansas
Lou Holtz then had to figure it out and he said,
‘God was trying to tell me to seek greener pastures’
Which meant coaching at the University of Minnesota
And ultimately at Notre Dame which had always been
The dream job of Lou Holtz. Sometimes God appears
In disguise like the burning bush when he could have
Seemed like a king but a mere bush he chose instead
