St. Something

By Kovine

God of misremembered sentiments
God of easier times
God of when everyone liked each other

A dead god 
Pious in his own right 
Remembered, but no longer worshiped.

I remain faithful and devout
And god looks at me and tells me 
I can only bring you sadness 

But I look back at god
And smile 
And say 

That’s okay.

    A hard metaphor of simpler times, but also an acceptance of the reality of today, the difficulty of the current time and the sorrow that it may bring. I loved it!
