Now that they
have proven
themselves idolaters,
filled with
graven images
and willing
to deny the
truth and turn
a blind eye
to mercy and
grace, now
that they have
denied righteousness
and driven themselves
mad with lust
for power and
prestige, preening
themselves in elaborate
costumes of grotesque
exaggeration, I want
to tell you I
love you and
demonstrate by
offering myself
there is more
to belief than gold.
