On Conventions

CONVENTIONS

So conventional

Gathering powers to
confirm the intentional

Conventions for discourse
for institutions episcopal
clergy and laity
debating
inaugurating
singing and praying
often delaying
ultimately
waylaying
shalom

Conventions of power
for government leaders
politicians and  laborers
right and left wingers
a few radical singers
with awful one line zingers
void of WHOLE truth
all speak with one purpose
to sway the opinion
of Ms and Mr Minion

Only the anarchists
seem opposed to
conventions
which
might
herald
shalom

Lord in your Dominion
send forth your Spirit
Open the heavens
and pour out you
wisdom.


Come Wild Goose, Come.

Instead of conventions
of Human intentions 
Lead us
headlong
Into

Holy
Conferencing

That
sounds
much more
promising
