That Other Church

People rushing ~ church on the corner being on time ~ sits empty all week, I walk there, around the building new parking lot ~ I could roller skate! My friend, she attends, I used to remembering my legacy, as a kid big Cathedral, choirs, altar boys family reunions ~ stock principles! It was strong, loud voices, even then finding cars in parking lot, the War (the big one) was ended we forgot strife ~ remembered being together! Years past ~ family almost gone a survivor, Son who doesn't worship, go to Church ~ big oil company employee taking over U. S., ruining waters! ` And I fight back, Nebraska midwest, where once we fought & stood together now land marks are at stake not just church worship! But it seems demeaning, churches full on Sunday, Then fighting for land, water quality why doesn't big Pharm and Ag pray with us, we won the big one! Why are we fighting them now, equal rights for nature, God at rest, maybe picture changes overnight, Nostradamus gone mad from insight! Are end times just a vision land at stake ~ churches empty and it's still a social issue, politics and presidents ~ never good enough! One man, putting his life at stake used to advisors, good and bad, is anyone's conscience driven back to God Every day ~ every way! Or is it ~ just that other church ~ they're in the way!
