jerusalem to the crusades

He was

everything

nothing

and all things power


exceptions being

borrowed for

time out from

the "in" times


cool kids fake

confidence in

smiles with

pointed fingers

to wrap fear pretty


cooler adults wage war

on dress codes

and loads of

bull parading as

a righteous realm


angels sing

but we rarely hear them

busy we are

straining gnats

to make room for the camels.
