Super Sunday

A fiery glow envelops those assembled A revival meeting, uncannily resembled The vast amphitheater packed to the gills Worshipers revel in vulgar thrills Once the festivities are underway The skies blacken to an evil gray Viewed: Prurient pleas for salvation Heard: Satanic shouts, incantations As knights of darkness and light take the field To beer, blood and lust all inhibitions yield America, in the throes of gluttonous shame ~ forgets that 'Super Sunday' is just a football game

And the incident with the Bills and Bengals were a reminder of what is really important. God draws our eyes upward.

Sacred Sunday is fading away. When boys and girls go out to play. Excellent verse, sad state of affairs. Gershon. Oy Vey!
