A lot of Churches here are always Locked.
Sad sign of the Times.
I did Read that in the 17c Lottery Tickets were on sale in St Paul\'s Cathedral.

Although flea markets are often located in the courtyard of a church Tristan, no mention here. Keeping coverings for my back, holes out of my pants and hunger at bay once upon a time was an obsessionn. Not so now.

What is the church not offering the people now.
Or are people just working to exist, and the message of the lord doesn\'t resonate.
It\'s a tough one, and I don\'t have the answers.

I dunno about your conclusion. Just because folk fail to acknowledge and worship the only true God, doesn\'t mean they\'re not worshipping whatever. Flea markets used to be thing to do in my childhood in Colorado, back over 40 years ago. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Good write T. I suppose markets outside churches are OK, but not inside them - and not cheating, as was so in Jesus\' time.

Ah Tristan the message comes through capitalism and greed (possibly gluttony as well) easily overcomes religion or spirituality. Nicely done my friend>

Hello, Tristan,
I think you need a tranquilizer after that brief outburst. A rapid firing ditty on four cylinders. Unorthodox humour the kind I most enjoy.
All the best,
Tony.

Not enough izers in the world today.
I myself like to see myself as a big wordizer.
Not to be confused by the big guy next door, dickizer.
Definitely not to be confused by his wife, to many dickizers.
Probably why I drink the atomizers.

Devilishly Dreadful: The Initiate; or, The Mysteries of the White Band
Thomas W Case said:
Powerful work, my friend. There’s a claustrophobic sense of fate here, with the removed blindfold revealing not freedom but a silent audience of family, power brokers, and veiled faces who seem to have already decided the speaker’s future. The final interruption—Edie’s voice demanding his removal just as the vows are pronounced—turns the repeated lines into a trap snapping shut, leaving the poem suspended between the promise of love and the machinery of approval that has swallowed it whole.

Not familiar with that novel Tristan but the ominous feel comes through it the poem dark and almost gothic in nature most appropriate for this time of year and for governments we have.

Every church has a Jesus.
That should be the starter for ten.
Though my church has a better Jesus than your church.
Got a feeling even Jesus must be saying, Jesus.

Hello, Tristan,
They choose the parts of the New Testament the suits them, their cause, that blinkered belief whilst ignoring the writings as a whole; like: love thy neighbour, do on to others as you would have them do on to you. I remember a lady friend of mine was spat on by so called christians when demonstrating in Dublin many years ago. Your poem hit home, my friend.
Do take care now,
Tony.

My goodness, I love artichokes. Well written, your poem addresses self-righteousness and hypocrisy among Christians. It calls for compassion and encouragement rather than criticism, highlighting the need for humility in religious practice. Tristan, are you a man who works for God? 🙏 I\'ve been in Catholic school my whole life. Your writing speaks of a kind man who wants peace.❤️🙏❤️

I admit I rant over some denominations. Not that I think of denominations that much. And yet there are good people in those denominations too. Not that their church is cultic or \'wrong\' but some seem to form \'cliques\' and one has to be in the \'in-crowd\'. Fido says to me \'Do shut up Orchi, about [insert name of denomination]!\' lol.
