my fear

Lord,
my fear is nothing
more...or
less
than self-idolatry.

my fears enthrone me
in Your place, Lord.

faith occurs
whenever i choose to
de-throne myself.

freely...

expectantly...

repeatedly.

false gods

Lord,
why do we shout
so loudly for the politicians
who promise so much
to us in lawyer-words?

are we so desperate
for any good news
but Yours?

are we so desperate
for any god
but You?
