In His Name Only

“By God anointed…”

religions claim,

then fight to steal His throne

 

Devotion pledged

in false pretense,

to become the greater known

 

A figurehead

to suit their needs,

they break His every rule

 

To seize with power

these ‘Chosen Ones’

—intentions harsh and cruel

Bench Made

My verse is like

a bespoke set of clothes,

 fit the thing that counts

 

Each article worn,

 new memories born,

to tighten or let out

 

My head to my toes,

its covering goes,

whose message spoken clear

 

To tailor new moments,

each stitch a new thread

—bench made to endear
