my dear god

are
you




there?



should i bother


to

capitalize


you? or

only he,
and him,


and his,

but never

she?
who says


you
are the divine power,

the holy one,
our savior,

my lord? (or is that


from the days of king arthur?)
the same
who jailed

women and those
who believed
otherwise?


who lied,

who killed,
who beat and stole
and pointed their stubby fingers with their filth-caked
nails at those they thought immoral?
when all along
three fingers
pointed back at
Them.
