.
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.
