Latter Day Religion

Millenniums have past since Peter complained,
“It’s not working,
All those speeches, prayers
And nothing has changed”

Jesus had been executed.
Temple fathers ruled the community.
Rome ruled Jerusalem
And peddlers hustled on the temple steps.

Two thousand years later,
After one year in office,
Our first black President
Has not performed any miracles.

The people are unhappy.
“Where are the jobs?
Why are the bankers getting richer?
Has the quality of our air changed?”
