A seminarian is never right

If he laughs, they say he is never serious about life.
If he doesn’t, then he is trying to carry the whole world on his back.

If he cries, he is overly sentimental.
If he doesn’t, he is insensitive to the max.


If he drinks, he is a drunkard.
If he doesn’t, he is indifferent.

If he wears plain clothes, he’s very informal, without class.
If he dresses up for an occasion, he is too mundane.

If he has a girlfriend, he’s not a good seminarian.
If he doesn’t, then he is not a true man.

If he seen reading a book, he’s a boring nerd of some kind.
If he isn’t, he’s dumb, there’s nothing in his mind.

If he’s kneeling in the church, he must have grown wings.
If he’s not, he has no prayer life.

If he reasons out, he is rebellious, full of alibis.
If he remains silent, he has no principles, without a spine.

A seminarian’s life is never easy for perseveringly’
He answers the call whether or not he is chosen at all,
While in the seminary, they tell him he’s meant for other things;
But when he leaves the seminary for good… everybody wonders why?
