Escalations ... a poem by Anne Selden Annab

 


        

 

 

 

 

            Escalations         


American Churches don't 

get obituaries.

They dwindle

and die decommissioned-

stones intact, doors

and windows

floors, walls and roofs

failing slowly.


Was it location

or belief?


Was it laziness

Was it aging populations

Was it an evolving lack of trust

in mainstream news and worship

as [online] the world watches

Palestinian children

& families

tormented

maimed, wounded and killed

by [American armed] Zionist violence.
