He preaches eternal life
Yet his eyes are dark and sunken
He preaches happiness
Yet frown lines dig trenches into his
Pompous, white skin
He is ignorant of the pain
Providing sermon, not comfort
Citing teardrops and rain
Eyes look away
Measuring swirls in the carpet
Anger, resentment, contempt
Right words?
Wrong time
Wrong place
sipping stardust
