The Gods That We Trust

Posted on May 17, 2019 by soitgoes1984

We sigh as we watch 

synagogues, mosques, and 

black churches burning.

We’re yearning for a better 

world but we’re too comfortable 

in this one. We watch the news

it’s just reruns, cops

killing unarmed black people

and Muslim cities turned to 

dust, the Dow and NASDAQ are 

way, way up, these are 

the Gods that we trust.
