temple of god
stained. corrupted, rejected
from a drifter
searching for concrete, proof, validity, now
and the maker plays not the games
of creation, funny though
that is how tall the tale is.
look. the make shift is happening again,
the chorus,
the nods
affirmations as to who god is.
don't you see goodness in the
many forms
of the visible:
carnal delight
take it an octave higher.
that's god.
not blasphemy
if your flock agrees. feels right -
the candle is black,
the fire darker
i hear the shuffling sounds
from the ancient graves -
aha. they caught the web,
spins the threads
about. it is snapping.
god in a toilet bowl
flushed down
if the reflection
looks like turd.
bow lower
this almighty spirit
when men do not follow the rules
not to their liking.
we've got better ones.
and the temple is desecrated
with angels twisted
but the crowd have strange visions,
with spirits of vices
but the label says virtue.
i guess when many say it is so,
it must be. then i heard god laugh.
because
the dog thumped it's tail twice
as hard on the ground.
i know better.
