Arlene Corwin writes


The Most Published Book In The World

If the Bible is,
As Google says,
The planet Earth’s
Most published book
(the recent estimate five billion!)
Why is the milieu around us
Falling, fouling, failing us?
Why are industries, their leaders.
(clearly they, their families readers)
Greedily corrupted,
Profit-minded and self-interested;
Continents and Christians,
Countries near and distant,
Church, priest, nun and clergy
(those who venerate the liturgy)
Bound to lust like all the rest of us?
Why are charities caught stealing
When they’re reading, spreading, dealing out
The Word
They’ve heard
Is God?
 
The Conservative Christ -- Michael D'Antuono
