The Facts of the Biz

.

Not the Holies you hoped to see,

but you’ve taken it largely in stride.

Theocracy’s bureaucracy’s

too bumpy a tedious ride.

.

Plugging you into divinity

is the job they say they’ll do.

But the spill of their magnanimity

has limits. The favors that you

.

desired from them required too much

to be processed, backed-up and aligned.

To permit the healing of sacred touch

requires ten forms to be signed.

.

So yes, they’ve now abandoned you,

and left you unloved in the lurch.

And perhaps in effect it’s remanded you

to a far better life outside church.

.

Who can be sure of the facts of the biz?

The teleological tenets that matter?

It’s possible everything’s fine as it is.

But it won’t make the Vatican fatter.
