Oh God

What has he done now?

Oh God
(My grade-school teachers scold:
Not to take His name in vain)
But I was never told
Why

IMPOTUS
In an un-authorized landing
Back from outer space
Announced re-opening places of worship
I agree they’re essential
But they are also
sitting ducks for spreading disease

Meanwhile, in Mississippi
A church goes up in flames
Authorities suspect arson,
Partially due to the spray-painted phrase:
“Bet you stay home now you hypokrits [sic]”
Geniuses, all.

Oh my effing God
If Her Holiness is watching
This tragicomedy of errors —
Except, accept the fact that:
God has nothing to do with this.
