The bell is broken
Ringing smashed
Across the faces
Of pious leaders
And religious dictators
No feet come running
No voices raised
In exultation
Only questions
- why have they deserted us?
The bell is broken
Rope frayed
From over-exertion
Too heavy a burden
Ears burst from
Hypocrisy
Unenlightened
Emptiness
The void widens
The bell falls.
The bell is broken
People are saved.
