our estrangement from God
understood in the graphic
language
in the vomit from our
hearts
burning our friends, our
neighbors
acid burns, not love
when we spew such bile
Choices which we make
some selfish, some
careless,
our words and our actions
spoken in haste, in
anger,
leaving acid burns, not
love,
scars on our friends, lasting,
marks on our neighbors
those we claim to love
a false mirror on our God
from those who claim Christ’s
name
