the tapeworm of twitter

 the tapeworm of twitter


the tapeworm of twitter

the current conflagration

fires, more than embers,

out and about, breaking

starting new hotspots

the nation on pins and needles

who opened #Pandora's box?

an allegory, a metaphor - v2

 an allegory, a metaphor - v2


an allegory, a metaphor

an image with deeper meaning

prophesy fulfilled,

love come at last

in the babe in the manger

the man who would climb the cross


an allegory, a metaphor

imagery of Revelations

the lamb upon the throne

the Rider coming soon,

on the clouds of heaven

the snake, the vanquished one,

eternity calling…

destiny calling, fate, victory

how can God let this happen

how can God let this happen


like the words of the psalmist

My God, my God,

why have you forsaken me?,

our laments the same,

how can God let this happen;

how can a loving God

allow such evil, such pain?”

we struggle, we cry out

for answers, understanding

failing to trust, to believe

in God’s infinite goodness

why Lord, why

why Lord, why


the lament, the anguish

the seeking to understand

why Lord, why?”,

do these things happen

where are things

so out of hand


why Lord, why?”,

we shout into the ether

into the cosmos, the air

not waiting for answers

not at peace in our spirits

not at peace in the land
