My Father Die Page #6

him if he stayed here with us.

Do you?

Ah-huh.

And why is that?

Because I think he needs

people who care about him.

How did you get so smart?

I love you.

I love you too.

Ok.

You go to bed.

Don't get up.

We're going to church tomorrow.

Would you like to join us?

We go every Sunday.

You don't have to come.

I just thought you might

want to hang out with us.

Well, you can't come

looking like that.

I think I might still have

some of his father's clothes.

They should fit.

Tell me about Rawlings.

He killed his son

in a drunken rage.

Made the other one death

beating him in the head.

This is a pre-historic

mother f***er.

And the lord has a plan for you

too, but you gotta ask.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Now who here today needs

to be touched by the spirit?

Needs to be touched by

the hand of?

Needs to be saved?

What did you do?

You f***ing.

What happened to

my beauty queen?

Just let yourself

go, huh, boo-boo?

By

The law of our heavenly father.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Preacher Michael come on up.

Come up, sir and be saved.

Preacher Michael be saved.

Is it your legs, son?

It is, preacher.

Do you have faith in the

temple and in the all mighty?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I do.

Yes, sir.

Brother Steve, would

you give us a hand?

And by the power

invested in me, I

command the sickness out and

put in the hands of our lord.

Amen amen.

Oh, hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Oh, hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Let the sick and

suffering perish the way

the world does today.

It's sick and backwards.

We cannot let the

wicked run free.

Because it was our father

who said all men.

Well, ain't that some sh*t.

Plucked the worlds clean.

And only those who

repent are free.

Lord, drive the devils out.

Lord.

My little brother,

wherever I go, you go.

And

only those who repent are free.

And that's

when I heard my god speak

to me, and he said,

you've got to help

your daddy shine before

you can shine for yourself.

God's got a plan.

I'm just saying with

everything that's happened,

I don't think it's a good idea

for you to be seen with him.

He is a Rawlings after all.

So what should I have done,

left him on my porch to die?

It doesn't seem very Christian.

Oh, no.

No.

Heavens no.

And don't be putting

words in my mouth,

and don't be thinking

I'm not proud of you

for helping him out now.

But you've done your part.

It's up to him now.

He's got no reason to

be sticking around.

I told him that.

I just feel guilty.

You're an independent

woman, Nana, raised

a smart, healthy, young boy.

You don't need to be

raising a man child.

Like proverb says, not my

circus, not my monkeys.

Yeah.

I guess you're right.
