Idol 1
Sometimes I picture you
like a plaster Jesus
nailed to a wall
who has eyes but can't see
who has ears
but can't hear at all
You seem like a rag doll
who does not open his mouth
when yanked by the Right
and snatched by the Left,
lifted like a golden calf
of their own design
"My favorite emptiness,"
calls you the poet,
perhaps groping for the True God
(Me too!)
(Me too!)
I'm Doubting Thomas,
Denying Peter
But then...
Then I remember your acts of love
and cling to the promise
of your second coming
May you open our eyes
May you kill our pride
May your kingdom come
May your will be done
May our idols be toppled
to the ground
