Work Poem
Faith is a shield
no stronger than the paper
your god's weekly newsletter
is printed on.
Faith is saying Thank God
the children are safe
until the children throw rocks.
Work is mopping
all that faith
left to fester
in the bathroom stall.
Faith gets two for flinching
every time a work
is thrown up in its face.
Hopelessness is a hand
thrown up in front of yoru face
working to block
other people's work
from hitting our face.
