Hazel Motes

Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it.
Flannery O’Connor, Wiseblood


I knew the truth 
when Hazel Motes led the way
in his broke down Chevrolet
around those Georgia hills
into downtown Macon where he preached
from the top of his hood
The Church of Christ without Christ.
No greater glory have I seen
in one man alone
than his passion, his stations of the cross,
just another crazy man
loosed from his home without destiny
a parable of one who follows his misplaced life
to its always apocalyptic end 
determined to take God along.

Hey TqB,
Another good one.  had to do my research.  My only suggestion(s) would be to make 'truth' the subject of the first line and remove 'I' in the middle and maybe cut 'always'. 
yeah, that's it.  Well, there might be more changes around my suggestions, but I'll leave that to you.
