• uncaring love.

  dear God,
  
  here are my leftovers.
  leftover energy put into pity prayers
  -just keep me secure.
  leftover love given to my neighbor
  -a wave to what's his name.
  leftover sacrifice given in your name
  -a dollar for some "good" cause.
  thank you for the feast of our prosperity.
  i devoured it all and sit in spiritual pride.
  grab a box of crackers, welch's grape juice.
  quick remembrance of that death you gave.
  quick song and dance of that love you've shown.
  leftover scraps pushed to the floor.
  a little time, a little mercy,
  a little compassion for You or some other.
  wasn't this the feel-good, unconscious religion
  we are suppose to live? suppose to show?
  i'm satisfied. aren't You?
  
  with uncaring fake love.
  -north america.
