church and Venezuela

prayer
and a song for peace
and
how much more to say except
a war without
our Congress calling it
and certainly without invasion
first

so we’ll need to be praying
all around
in
mourning for the losses

frankly
against the greed
and
vanity involved
with something about more terms
in
office
deceptively in play

wartime culture to manipulate

while in the church we’ll pray
and serve for
cessation
by the forgiveness and repentance
of
a nation
