Church And State Poem by Saiom Shriver
Church And State
If God is omnipresent
if God is everywhere
if the sun pours light into
each point of the air
then to attempt to separate
God from the state is
vainly to try for a
spiritual lobotomy.
After castles and forts
have fallen, after tanks
have rusted away,
God's many kinds
of shrines remain.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Footnote: this is not an
endorsement for any theocratic
state... whether one in which
Sharia dominates, or Mormon
in historical Utah, or present
day Israel, or the established
Church of England... but
the right of everyone to speak
his own prayer.
