Locked Doors

James Michael

I went to a church today,

as I’ve done on other Sundays.

The doors were locked again.

Do I need a pass to go in?

Do I have to partake in mass?

Do I have to be in their elite class?

All I wanted today was to go in,

yet the doors were locked again.

    Some are locked midweek, if there's no events or services, or no-one to run 'drop-ins'.

      I call the way things were “usetas”. The church I went to for mass on a regular basis always had their doors unlocked. We could go in there anytime to pray. The churches I want to go into now when service isn’t happening have their doors locked. A sign of the times I guess.
