Dying to deify
Pro-
Photo-frame on the wall,
beautifully adorned.
Empty.
Snap your hero in.
-logue
Never mind their foibles;
Every fault is just a small weakness
when found in the otherwise great.
Dying to deify,
we are itching to sanctify;
Castigation unabashed,
but, for the struggling everyman.
What if we will never find
another son of a carpenter
who will die preaching love?
Epi-*
In a world starved of messiahs
ready always to worship ever
but be, never,
iconoclasts are icons;
Sentimental impossibilities
in the language of hope
aye, fete-worthy acceptables.
