to the christians et al

if this life were perhaps
your only chance
to march to heaven
would you even consider
at a glance the small thing
we call a circle...
would you spend your life
with bent knees
outstretched hands gesturing
please, lord, spare me this strife
like life is a curse...
could you remove the lens
you train skyward
the eyes you pretend
that have the sight
to see inside the light
of geneses incalculable...
or is it simpler to view
life as two points
defining a line you try
to link to a hereafter
you think is greater
than the gift
we're currently defiling?
