All things work together for good ~ Romans 8:28
The congregation raises hands and wrists
In Christ Church, Washington, antennae high
For Jesus vibes and Holy Ghost. The lists
And waves above rapt heads are towards the sky
Despite the roof and ceiling of the church.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t come, not in
A rush of wind and tongues of fire. The lurch
Of limbs in Wembley raised to praise the sin
Of Freddie Mercury does not bring on
The Holy Spirit, but the voices do
Accompany large funds as bands sing on.
The songs of Satan trump the church and pew.
The singer’s arms raised up shout pits of love
As he and Queen attempt to punch the sky above.
~ Phillip Whidden
