dear society,
you’ve lied to me all
along – while you
told me that
god is great
and faith is rewarded
i watch as
you stare into the window
of a man who
wears tights
or throws a baseball
or shoots a basketball
or bowls
or golfs.
today a mother lost her son
a father lost his friend
a brother lost a sibling
but all you really care about
is sponsorships and nike
shoes
and i have seen you now
for the truth – society
you lied to me
i tried to be a person
of value
i tried to be a person
of respect
but you turned your back on
me
you turned your back on
the father
the mother
and the brother
and the respect i
had for you
is that of a ghost
so go back to reading
the daily news
about the golfer
who fucked
someone other
than the mother
of his children
i see no difference
between either
of you
anymore
oh …
Matthew 7:1
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged”
