Putrid Stones

Your perception is obsolete,
dried up like the blank stare of an empty well.
 
I’ve seen you before,
prostrate to television news history,
casting your putrid stones
into a sea of fear.
 
Even a dog has the capacity
to reasonably tolerate its own species.

And you call all of this God.
