Our theology,
Or our lack thereof,
Shows
In the face of tragedy.
We are reduced
To trite stupidity
And say the darnedest things.

Do these words accurately reflect
The cosmology that we view?
Or are they just something
That comes out of our mouths as rote,
Just something
To keep the facade in motion?

I don't care if the world stops today.
I don't care if it goes.
For me, the veil has been ripped for good,
And I have nothing to say.
But as for me and my house,
We will stop,
And stare.
