28 Poetry

Celebrity Worshiping
People are listening to and not finding Nirvana
Society bows to a new Madonna
Writings of the Word replaced by wax and needles
Instead of twelve Apostles we have four Beatles
Love defined by another John and Paul
What's the difference after all
The feminism of Ruth, Abigail, Rahab Esther, and Rebekah
Is replaced by Paris, Britney, Lindsay, Christina and Jessica
Bob Dylan instead of Elijah
Marley instead of Jeremiah
We trade a prince for a king
Since the music is everything
Music is now the message not its carrier
Trading Christian soldiers for KISS knights and warriors
Rock is a less pretentious false idol
A less hypocritical role model
Than the catholic cathedrals
And the morality Holy Rollers install
But long forgotten is the God of Moses and Elijah
The distinctly defined Jehovah

Guns And Money (Haiku)
Deadly paradox
Needed due to its being
If be none need none

Corporate Layoffs (Haiku)
Corporate layoffs
Lead to CEO payoffs
And also ghettos
