In God We Trust Poem by gershon hepner

In God We Trust



Foolish to look out upon the world
from monasteries, it takes a zoo
to learn the truth which is unfurled
by animals. No monk has got a clue,
and rabbis, priests, imams are hardly wiser
if you must pay to hear them, as you must
when you consult a spiritual adviser
whose texts are coined with words, “In God we trust.”

Ah, if ever you had been in a monastery you would realise that they, too, are zoos - sometimes much closer to the bone than the sanitised world we often wander through. Jeff
