though the media and public
are Swift to melt down
all the sales and adulation
to turn singers into golden
calves we can worship,
though the knuckleheads
in power cannot seem to govern
themselves much less figure out
how to bring about peace
and justice throughout the world,
though the ranters and mockers
always seem to get the air time
and sound bites denied
to the angels of compassion,
yet we will not fear
for you value us above
all the knuckleheads,
the ranters and mockers,
the golden calf enablers.
