world politics

by Paul Cech / September 17th, 2017

pseudo-sincerity
flows from their pores
as they invoke their deity’s name…
natural disasters
terrorism
war
famine
and other “evils”
are their favorite subjects for invocations

while…
corruption
poverty
injustice
exploitation
neglect
abuse
adultery
etc.
remain whispers in poorly illuminated halls of justice
