Santa in the sky

no one says

they're religious anymore,

instead

they say

i'm spiritual, whatever that means.

when you need

something do you pray?

when you're in

trouble,

or when someone you once

loved has

passed away.

maybe it's money you need,

or a healed

bone

in your body.

it's God-lite.

a benign Santa in the sky.

not the blood

of the cross

that keeps you off your

knees.
