I have good news for you,
the label-makers:

    You can stop.
    Up/down,
    good/bad,
    us/them,
    Christian/not,
    conservative/liberal…
    you hereby have permission to stop!

And what a relief
to cease the endless, unnecessary labeling!
Think of the time and energy you'll save!
Thing of the good you're now freed to do!

Hold hands with God
and you have no fingers available
with which to point in judgement.

Alleluia!
