The Drought

Kurt Philip Behm

Abbots of darkness

bishops of pain

Cloistered in dogma

praying for rain

 

Thunderous chanting

 tempest above 

Damning false prophets

 blessing a dove

 

Grace comes a hailstorm

Coventry’s shame

Lost in its downpour

thirst to remain

 

Warning blasphemers

in skies that portend

Ordained and self-serving

 the drought never ends
