This Our Son Is Stubborn and Rebellious

If I'm your son, where are my lashes?
You know I'm only sinning for attention,
so please don't spare the rod.

Maybe You could drive me mad—
hunched-back, grass-eating,
wanderer of the wilderness—
until at last I cling, 
crying, to Your knees:
I'll never sin again.
