The hackneyed plot
enacted over and over since
the dawn of time
the lies and distortions
the lowest common denominator
a sucker born every minute
the worst are full
of passionate intensity
the best have conviction
but things are weighted
to make it easy to hate
and difficult to love.
Oh, God, You
have not forsaken us,
we have forsaken you
but a drop,
of Your Forgiveness is
more potent than all
the bombs that have ever exploded,
all the curses and lies ever spoken.
