Laughter As a Cure

When that boy 
Spotted our carpets 
With guilt,
My mother said to me 
Don’t worry 
We will laugh about it
One day.

The Observer

If there was a god
That looked down and saw everything,
If there happened to be some anonymous observer, 
Somewhere a distant voyeur of human life,
Then maybe science wouldn't be so scary 
And the answer ‘no’
So right.

Demonstrating Church

Sat squatting, you wait
cold as your own mind set.
Is this the church you chose?
 
Illusive is the sanctitude 
that you so feverishly search for.
Yet still you wait,
so patiently in the damp light.

Under duress,
as if the corruption
means nothing.

The blankets on which you sit,
can’t keep the cold
from seeping though.
