The First Commandment

The First Commandment

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Somewhat dogmatic: this primary order:
Christ above all other divinity.
It is but a joke across each border;
Across all lands now, this God is no more;
That is: largely is there lacking belief
And the splendour of God no more be bore;
With few provided such wholesome relief.
Churches: distant memories of the Lord.
Religion: vacant from social standing.
Holidays: the futures day; God ignored.
People: piety’s dead, money’s handling.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
No God we have; as far as I can see.
