Devout worshippers
ecstatic. prim and grim
arrive for services
to sing hymns
and pray.
Humble as undertakers
evangelists
spread the word
lucratively
and histrionically.
They claim
as holy
a fanciful
and contradictory book
as the word of God.
Paranoid patriots
leaders of the free world
invade Vietnam, Iraq
and Afghanistan
before withdrawing.
Spirituality lost in the devices on religion.. well done Ken!
I’m afraid so. In the US – and here – religion is as phony
as political expediency and almost uniformly
Republican or Neo-liberal. God has gone out
the window into a land of hypocrites and gangsters.
Exceptional Ken. Simply superb writing, and a powerful message.
Thanks Jack. I was wondering. Some
people could be easily offended, but I haven’t
received any hate responses yet!
Wonderful!!!
Thank you not only for this, but for looking at and liking so many others.
