Its Reckoning Comes
Is God to interpret,
and religion the why
Is forever too heavy
to pledge bye and bye
Does the Devil provide balance
to a concept in stone
Is he laughing inside us,
mocking all that we know
Is the Lord left to children
and those purest of heart
Is all truth chained to symbols,
has its lock come apart
Are the years there to change us,
is each day meant to count
Are the scriptures worth hearing,
if belief has to shout
To those fanatics among us,
yes, you know who you are
A power looms distant,
beyond testament’s scar
Its claim staked by no one,
its icon’s unseen
And its reckoning comes
—when you wake from this dream
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
