--

Preaching and
                      My pulpit
                                      Is a poem

Those closest to the sermon
Think that they already know it

I'd write something cheery 
For the concerned critic's sake
But whether misspelled, lacking rhythm or quality
My words
Are never
                Fake

I'm sorry this isn't 
Your neat ice cream swirl
Poetry is the ash of a burning world.
