Jana Lee Wong Poems

1.

i told you there was a god,
how he was watching over us all,
sitting to the left of the holy spirit
and to the right of his only son.
...

when my hair was still gold as a sunflower’s petal,
i stood idle at the university’s gate,
to watch you pass, holding my books in your hands.
...

you loved the most beautiful boy in town,
the most popular in the whole school
the one caught in a fire on his farm-
propane tank exploded unexpectedly
...

i understand your fear of a thousand hounds,
as if telling your secret would make me stop loving
you, but honestly, you could have hollered the
devil stole your soul and I’d be sitting there listening,
...

The Best Poem Of Jana Lee Wong

Doubt

i told you there was a god,
how he was watching over us all,
sitting to the left of the holy spirit
and to the right of his only son.

thought it would keep you from
doing all the things in life
that would cause you harm,

but three boys died yesterday,
trying to stop the violence in
the burning city of london,
and metaphorically speaking,
the devil walks the earth
and i have seen him shackled,
or walking the elusive streets,
or ordering entire villages to burn.

one-hundred thousand women,
men, and children’s lives have
been sacrificed because a president
cannot end the everlasting wars.

haley is suffering and so are
thousands of other children,

and no god would let them.

there is no god.
there is no santa.
we have only ourselves to blame or cherish.
