blood offering

(edited version)

have EYES DIVINE gone blind
on those who glory in themselves?
and what about the ones whose gods
are faeries, gnomes and elves?

will once-aspiring- Lands of Oz
where college dreams came true,
become unstuck with any luck?
does Congress have a clue?

they tout “Glory Halle-lu-JAH!”
sounds so pure in their conventions,
while potentates pass offering plates
with emerald intentions

why do holy rollers feed the need
to squash this sinking land,
and will “Rock of Ages” matter
where their feet once used to stand?
