We
grieve for the lack of faith
for
the disbelief in God
for
the merchandise, the junk
that
gets in the way of worship
Another
sign, surely
of
the end times, of Satan,
Black
Friday, Gray Thursday
shopping
without end
Nothing
of Jesus, of the Christ
of
our Savior, our Lord
we
are all lost sheep, Prodigals,
lost,
gorged on the world
