Piety Lost

that church piety you

claim to build life

closer to God on

earth has never

more weakly felt

the horrors that

parade each day

in front of us

as kids are killed

by errant cops

in a world that

easily unnamed

the evil your belief

once declared so

real. the spectacle

of such numbing pain

now only makes you

stutter that salvation

is God’s plan for us.

such piety must know

the sobbing will not

end should it ever

come . . .
