Email Poem | Today's Poetry

 Television preacher...
Dressed - slick and trendy -
arm gestures - posed -
stance of an actor
who's missed the big time...

Words - read from cue cards -
on auto  - and flashy -
smile - wide and toothy -
practiced and styled...

Lacking in measure
and meaning and logic -
directed at losers
and minds in a groove...

The suit - hangs so neatly -
the words wear so sweetly
and offer an answer
with no question in mind...

But still - there are people
who listen with longing
and look for the ritual -
the safeness of same...

Joy Weare,
6th February, 2010.
