The hour of arrival

Crystal churches closing their doors on the poor
Reifying evil is the last glimpse of God they will see
intermittent ceiling factories, chandelier spokesmen
and calling winter scourges, like a blight on the truth
of pain / they will see
the greatest lie of Abrahamic religion
is that God’s spirit dwells within
no spirit of Heaven could be capable
of harmful adroit presumptuousness
that is celebrated with a ticker tape parade
a parade where seizures and stanzas will not be written
or permitted to stand in court
but, to repeat again, the moon stands
in witness to us all
the calendar will not fail
to call out the truth of burden
at the hour of arrival
