taken by a dream, pulled
like thread
through a hole in the sky
a silver keyhole in the night
waltzing in the heavens
1...2...3
1...2...3
the apostle bore witness
faith in a promise
discarded like trash, for
discord and chaos
like sugar and fat
the nation bore witness
creeds sprout like weeds
false flowers
drop their seeds
broadcasting
church on T.V.
issue parched prayers from
cracked lips, forgoing the gospel
for politics, radio static
and internet traffic
the holy victim
for the selfishness
of victimhood
Christians bear witness
a human being is endowed with rights
that are inalienable, because we are created so
the expectation of justice in a lawful society
is reasonable, because these truths are
self-evident
the founders bore witness
the tear at their beards
in sack-cloth and ashes
