they need more

hardly worth
the effort convincing someone
who does
not believe
in God, some God, some
power.
no words
can win them over.
no church or dogma.
no scripture.
not love,
or hate, or flower.
no beast
of the jungle, or bird
in the sky.
they need more than
the miracle of life
to say I get it now.
they need
a plane going down,
death
at their door
to put their hands together.
