Petulant priests, greedy
centurions, and one million
incensed gestures stand
between your love and me.

Your agape sacrifice
is reduced to colored glass,
vapid penance, and the
tedium of ritual.

Your footprints yet
mark the crest of
billowing seas but
your joy
fades upon the tablets
of ordained prophets.

Visit us again, Savior.
Your children, burdened with
disbelief, blinded by a patina
of wisdom,
carom down this vale of
fear. We cry for you
although we have lost
your name.

    – Maya Angelou

…this poem just strikes the point, we certainly need a visit from the Savior…we’ve so encapsulated ourselves with religious sentiments and fanaticism that we’ve forgotten what we truly stand for…maybe just a visit won’t do…maybe we need Him to stay…
