no forwarding address…

want to contact god
but despite my best efforts
there’s no new address
the old church hangouts are now
sublet to vain charlatans

 

according to tradition…

another
holy day
the word
will be spoken
prayers
will be said
then
the killing
will
continue
the poor
will
still starve
the dishonest
will
be
deified
false prophets
will pursue
political 
power

 

the shop…

do step in
and
have
a look around
we have
a full array
of
items
most
are
handmade
but
each can be
customized
to meet
your personal
needs
and
desires
all
come with
a lifetime guarantee
and
documents
of
authenticity
optional accessories
are
also available
to
embellish
your purchase
such
supplements
as
pendants
and
statuettes
denote to your community
your excellent
taste
and
outstanding personality
so
which
religion
shall it be

salvadorean maternity ward…

get down on your knees
your born dead child means prison
prayer helps nothing now

your tears are ignored
your life will be sacrificed
for religious law

for religious law
blind justice rapes you again
satan smiles broadly

in her defense…

nothing was hidden
she stood before them with faith
they cloaked her with death
