Liturgy
We live in a world
where we’re all in a race
to play high stakes
in the dollar bill
ministry.
We live in a world
where psalms
are the sounds
of the raking of coins
on the decks of high-rolling yacht parties.
We live in a world
that’s raptured
by the litanies
of get-rich-quick schemes,
profiteering in emerging economies,
and betting on high-risk crypto-currency.
We live in a world
where capitalism
is spirituality —
Where we write the rules of the game,
and all Gods
are
unnecessary.
