21st century religion
theres a whole
disenfranchised well to do army of us
thay call us secular
you can spot us most easily
by the bumper stickers on our cars
the christians would say we are sinners
or worst yet lukewarm
we dont believe in anything specifically
but we believe in most everything
but “that”
we are fond of saying
“its all good”
i suppose we forget
a broken leg hurts like hell
we revere anything
from blue angels to animal magic to the
knights of the round table
and a few of us even
think highly of jesus by another name
but when passion is spread out
so thinnly among any deity you could find
in a santa fe new age shop
and theres no threat of hell….
because well, its all good
its turned most liberal do gooders
into road kill for the right wing
because fundamentalistism
is ready to die
fight a war kill a man
destroy the planet if thay have to
right here right now
for their one name one thing
which is something
the secular world
just dont have
