mercy

Tom waits Megaphone

St. Paul said to drink some wine,
for the stomach,
He also said not to drink too much,
for that is debauchery,
God is somewhere in the middle..
"this world is ever with us"
a poet said....
divorce,
mental illness,
sorrow,
suicide,
heavy stuff..
what we must do
is cry for mercy..
every other cry is less than,
this is why he died on a cross,
and not from a falling piano.
